How to Check Errors in Adobe InDesign

Use this interactive demo to learn how to identify and fix errors in your Adobe InDesign documents.

‍

‍

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to check errors in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To check for errors in your InDesign project, look at the bottom of your InDesign workspace. A red circle with an error indicator will appear if there are issues in your document.‍
  2. Click the error indicator to open the Preflight panel, where you can view details about the issue. This is how you can quickly identify errors in your current project.

📌 Why this matters

Checking errors before finalizing your design prevents costly printing mistakes and ensures your document meets professional standards. You'll catch issues like missing fonts, low-resolution images, or color space problems that could derail your project at the last minute.

The real advantage goes beyond basic troubleshooting—the Preflight panel reveals technical specifications that clients and print vendors often require, like proper bleed settings and CMYK compatibility. This positions you as detail-oriented and saves the embarrassment of delivering flawed files to stakeholders.
