The APM scope defines which pages and articles are used for the APM session for the Make-up Pages, Unlink Editorial Content, Place Shapes Only and Preflight Free Space actions. The Report Only action is not sensible to the APM scope so it works always the same, independently of the current settings.

You can review and set the scope on the APM dialog box and on the APM preferences dialog box.
