Reply To: Is it possible to automate text changes on individual page headers and footers?

I wonder if it might even make sense to make this two different scripts: one which would create the little bar/bullet in the margin, and one which increments the footer revision information. Yes, it would take manually running the script to increment the revision, but that could be applied to a keyboard shortcut, so it would be very easy. And another script could “zero out” the revisions later.

Note that there are “blackening” plug-ins for InDesign, which might also help, such as:
