FAQPage Schema
How do I inventory Office documents and PDFs in a directory for an accessibility audit?

To inventory Office documents and PDFs for an accessibility audit, this tool recursively scans specified directories to locate .docx, .xlsx, .pptx, and PDF files while automatically excluding temporary and backup folders.

How do I detect changed files in a folder since the last release?

You can detect changed files since the last release using delta detection features that compare Git history or track modification timestamps to identify recently updated documents.

Does the document scan exclude temporary and version control directories?

Yes, the document scan enforces exclusion of temporary, backup, and version control directories, ensuring the file inventory only contains relevant project documents.

Can I scan for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files non-recursively?

Yes, you can locate Word, Excel, and PowerPoint files non-recursively, limiting the file discovery scan to only the current directory rather than traversing subfolders.

What is the best way to track file modifications in a project folder?

The best way to track file modifications in a project folder is using timestamp-based tracking or Git-based delta detection, which identifies exactly which documents have been updated.

Why does the file inventory scan skip backup and temporary folders?

The file inventory scan skips backup and temporary folders to prevent version control artifacts and system files from cluttering the final document list during accessibility audits.
