Hi @lurleenk15056329 ,

if you see this red dot at the bottom of the layout window of a document, InDesign's Preflight function sees an error in your document. According to a preflight setting you or someone else has set up before in a custom named preflight profile. A preflight profile can be saved with an individual document. When Preflight is turned on, the profile of the document is able to act.

    Where do you see the red dot? If it's in the status bar at the bottom of the window, open the PreFlight panel and it will show you the type and location of each error being flagged.
