Adobe InDesign  - Placement Cleaner for layout asset relations
Layout asset structures can have a large number of placements relations, such as for logos, images, or text. These relations consume a lot of database space which ultimately can slow down the performance of your clients. The Placement Cleaner module is a great solution here as it removes excess relations from the database while keeping them in the layout document at the same time.
