A repair tool says there is nothing to fix

What you are seeing

A repair tool says "0 to fix" or "0 to change" and I do not believe it.


#Why it happens

These tools never sweep the site, they only look at pages you hand them, from a log or by ID. A page whose log was lost will never be found. Additionally, if a diagram cannot be read (deleted, or you lack permission) the failure is swallowed and the macro is reported as unmatched or simply skipped, so a permission problem looks identical to nothing-to-do.


#What to do

Add the specific pages by ID rather than relying on log-driven detection, and check you can open those pages and diagrams yourself. Note repair tools run as you, without the admin key and without the retry handling the main run uses, so their coverage can be narrower than the migration that created the problem.



Found it? Good. Next.
