# Remediation

> Filecheck prefers fixing files over rejecting them. What gets auto-corrected on ingestion.

Filecheck prefers **remediation over rejection**. When a file has a fixable problem, the Workflow corrects it instead of turning the customer away. The fixed output is available as `outputRef` on each file in the [status payload](/reference/status-payload).

## Commonly auto-fixed issues

<CardGroup cols={2}>
  <Card title="Color" icon="palette">

  </Card>

  <Card title="Bleed & geometry" icon="crop">
    Add missing bleed, align page boxes (Media/Trim/Bleed), normalize document geometry.
  </Card>

  <Card title="Fonts" icon="font">

  </Card>
</CardGroup>

<Note>
  The exact remediation that runs is controlled by the [Workflow](/concepts/workflows). This page lists what is possible, not what runs on every job.
