13. Removing diagnostics and preparing delivery

13.1 Normal cleanup#

Use Erase Highlights to remove Avellio diagnostic rendering. In Override Detection, use the Selective Eraser only when you intentionally want to retain other diagnostic categories.

Because the main palette maintains separate track state, verify both Inspect Styles and Inspect Typography cleanup before delivery. Switching tracks performs a broad visual wipe, but a final deliberate cleanup is still recommended.

13.2 Close prompt#

When the palette closes, Avellio asks whether highlights and technical layers should be erased. Choose removal for a delivery copy unless the next reviewer explicitly needs the diagnostics.

13.3 Inspect after cleanup#

After erasing diagnostics:

1. inspect several pages at high zoom;
2. check Conditional Text and Layers panels for retained technical items;
3. confirm that native shading or underline markers are gone;
4. export a proof PDF and inspect it;
5. save the cleaned document as a new version.

13.4 Delivery checklist#

• Full Style Integrity Audit completed where style QA is required.
• Full Typography Audit completed with the intended profile and locale.
• Fix Plan no longer stale.
• Safe and reviewed corrections visually verified.
• Manual-only findings resolved, accepted, or documented.
• Required CSV/TXT reports exported after the final audit.
• Avellio highlights, conditions, overlays, and technical layers removed as required.
• No unintended local formatting was removed.
• Final InDesign package and proof PDF inspected independently.

Do not use Reset Text to Style as a delivery-cleanup shortcut. It removes local overrides rather than only Avellio diagnostics.
