I just puzzled through finding the online files for Affinity Photo Wookbook. For what it is worth, here is what I wish had been explained more clearly. • In the Affinity Photo Workbook, the resource file links are found at the start of each chapter. In Chapter 2 the resource link is just above the table of contents on the chapter title page. In many (all?) other chapters the link is in the "Before You Get Started" section. • The links are "affin.co" They are not "affin.com". Often, I type .com automatically. • When you click a link a web page does not open. The link downloads a zip file to your Downloads folder. • Expand the downloaded zip file to create a folder containing the .jpg example files. • Workbook locations for the references to the online .zip folders: In Chapter 2, Core Skills, the example image file folder is referenced in the first step of the walkthrough instructions. In the other Chapters, the relevant example image .zip file is is referenced in the "Before You Get Started" section. -------- I am using Affinity Photo 2 and have found the Book and examples very helpful (even though the book is for the original version of Affinity Photo.) It would be great if Affinity were to publish a revised version of the Workbook -- perhaps in an online-only format. Even just a supplement just demonstrating the new features of Photo would be great. The online help https://affinity.help/photo2/en-US.lproj/# is great for telling you what Affinity Photo does. But it would be helpful for Affinity to have a resource that tells you why you might want to use some feature.

I finally discovered the manual you have hidden under Help --> Affinity Publisher Help. In most applications I have used the information reached under the Help Menu is next to useless. I was excited to find that your really have a complete Manual with excellent descriptions of commands and features organized in a clear and logical way. Two suggestions that would have helped me. 1. Stop hiding this document. Link to it in the Affinity Learn or Affinity Product support areas of the website. I think reading it would provide a lot of customers comfort as the consider whether Publisher can be adapted to the various quirks of their workflow. Also it would provides provides a lot of information that is easily understood for those of us starting to use Publisher. (The video tutorials are helpful. But this document goes a step further for users who looking for detailed explanations of options. 2. Rename it something other that "Affinity Publisher Help. It really is a fine "Manual" or "User's Guide". Use a name that indicates it is more than a typically bland help document. Many gold stars to the people who developed this outstanding document. Many frowns to the people who didn't carry through and tell users it exists.
