The Rebels basically just had to hope that she was telling the truth about her father's message, and that they could find it in time.Honestly, one thing that always slightly bugged me about Episode IV was that the Rebels were able to analyse the plans to a giant space station in however-many hours they had between arriving on Yavin IV and the Death Star following them, find an exploitable weakness that the Empire had completely missed, and formulate an attack plan to exploit it. Rogue One actually shores up that plot hole by showing us that they didn't have to trawl through the entire schematic in that time - they were looking for a fairly specific exploit.</blockquote>
