LinkOptimizer vs. macOS 27 Golden Gate

In brief:

LinkOptimizer can currently experience problems on macOS 27 due to certain bugs introduced by Apple. We expect to address this by the end of September. Please check this page or use the Check for Updates menu in LinkOptimizer for updates. With any questions, please contact us.

Additional details:

Please note that InDesign as well as other Adobe products are current do not officially support macOS 27 Golden Gate. As with any major macOS upgrade, it may take several months until it’s ready for real-world production workflows. We recommend to use macOS 27 installations for testing only. 

You can install macOS 27 alongside another macOS version on the same machine by installing it on a separate volume of your hard drive, which can be created using Disk Utility.
