Six worked examples
Compare Avellio, InDesign Preflight, GREP Find/Change, and human proofreading by task.
Example 1: The PDF exports, but the page feels weak
Preflight is green because links, fonts, images, and overset rules pass. The page still has a short last line, two consecutive hyphenated line endings, and an uneven rag.
Use Avellio with a composition-oriented profile to locate the evidence, then let the designer judge the page. Preflight did its job; the problem belonged to another quality layer.
Example 2: The team wants to replace every exact triple period
If the requirement is truly universal and source-safe, a saved GREP query is direct and repeatable. Avellio Safe Clean can also replace supported exact three-dot ellipses after preview and guards.
If the document contains code, quoted archival material, URLs, or house-style exceptions, do not run an unrestricted Change All. Use guarded candidates or a constrained GREP scope and review the result.
Example 3: A financial report mixes 1,200.50 and 1 200,50
Preflight will not normally decide the intended number convention. GREP can find a pattern only after the team defines the correct locale and exceptions. Avellio can surface mixed formatting and locale evidence; the report owner then confirms the intended convention and chooses a targeted correction method.
Example 4: A linked hero image is missing
Use Preflight. Avellio's typography and Style dashboard do not certify external assets. A human production specialist should confirm the restored image, crop, effective resolution, and final proof.
Example 5: Imported copy contains many local overrides
Use Avellio Style Heatmap and Override Detection to see where the style system drifted and which properties carry the highest risk. Use grouped Style Hygiene evidence to separate likely import noise from deliberate emphasis. Apply style cleanup only where a valid baseline and context guard support it.
GREP may help if one repeatable import signature is known. Human ownership remains necessary for deliberate exceptions.
Example 6: A person's name appears in two spellings
Use a human editor and an authoritative source. GREP can locate each spelling after the correct form is known, but it cannot choose the fact. Avellio is not a name authority, and Preflight is irrelevant.
