Default Behavior

No, it is not necessary to run the Scan process on a set of files before running the Inoculate process.
  1. By default, LinkFixer Advanced automatically scans all selected files prior to running the Inoculate process.
  2. This same behavior applies to other processes, including Cure, Move/Rename and Modify Links.

Optional Settings

LinkFixer Advanced also provides flexibility in how files are inoculated:
  1. You can choose to inoculate only files that were previously scanned.
  2. Or you can inoculate all files based on your folder selection.
This option can be accessed via:

1. Click on the Hamburger menu (☰) located at the upper left corner.

    

2. Then click “Settings”.

    

3. Select “Inoculate” tab from the menu at the left side of the screen.
