Have you ever wanted to find all files where the DWF(x) previews need to be updated? Or files that do not have DWF(x) previews at all?
Well you can, using the system property Visualisation Attachment, you can find all files which have no preview or a preview that needs updating:
Once found you can then select all files in the search result and perform an Update View - Queued Update (Update Locally will only work on a single file).
Note: the search results are only true with the current version of each file.

- The first step is to Enable Job Server, go to Tools > Administration > Global Settings > Integrations TAB, then tick on the option as below.
