Very useful tutorial. I especially liked the "Notes to Self" feature - Serif's PagePlus (Affinity Publisher's ancestor) had a "Note" tool which I was missing here, Thanks for the detailed look at PreFlight.

[@ElaineGiles]

Glad it was helpful. It's so long since I used PagePlus I'd forgotten that! I switched to Mac in 2006 and in the absence of PagePlus for macOS used Adobe InDesign.

[@allanjpalmer]

@ElaineGiles I had to stay with PagePlus when Affinity Publisher was first launched as the main project I worked on included much use of footnotes! Now that AfPub v2 includes foot/end and side notes, I'm making the transition. And your library of videos (as well as various After Hours hints) has been very helpful in making the move. Thanks!
