but you can check the box in settings for verification only mode (by default AccRepair option is turned on).
• You can verify other people's sites but you can only verify and repair pages over which you have read/write control - you could save someone else's pages and then verify/repair them.

AccRepair databases
• When the AccRepair Wizard fixes a Web element, it stores the information in a database. Then AccRepair “remembers” the element and fixes it automatically the next time it occurs.
• AccRepair databases can be shared—this multiples the power of the program and cuts the workload to a fraction.
