JT_Allen Posted October 21, 2020 Share Posted October 21, 2020 Before asking this question, I did search the forums for any similar topics/posts and only one came up and it wasn't very informative. To the Serif crew, can you give, even a very general guess, a timeline for the Affinity Publisher workbook release date? Or at least provide some sneak peak into how far along you are in creating it? I already have the first two workbooks in my personal library. I would love to get the final workbook in the series; especially with the ground-breaking studio-link feature being included in the Affinity Publisher Workbook. I am a very patient person, I just ask for an occasional update on progress if you can manage it. Edit: Or move this to the appropriate forum.

If you own previous workbooks, you know that they focus on the description of certain work procedures, ie what and how to do, and not on the description of individual tools/functions and how they work. So although StudioLink is a unique feature of APublisher, I wouldn't expect any detailed description of how it works. I would rather look at the forum, where quite a bit has been said.

JT_Allen Posted October 22, 2020 Author Share Posted October 22, 2020 Ah Ok. Now I have learned one more way to use a search engine. That clears it up. Affinity Publisher may not have progressed far enough along for them to feel confident about starting to make the final workbook for publisher.

GW86 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 Hopefully this is not common. Just received my Publisher Workbook (ordered direct, delivered via Amazon) and it is the German edition not English. Checked the label on the shrink wrap and it says English.

Staff Patrick Connor Posted December 8, 2020 Staff Share Posted December 8, 2020 @GW86 Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums I must agree, lets hope it is not common. I know the stickering process is a manual step taken in our warehouse before shipping boxes on to Amazon for distribution, so that is a concern as this may have happened to a whole box of German Workbooks (or perhaps more, eek!!). I have seen your email to AffinityOrders@serif.com and brought this to the attention of the Customer services team who will be replying directly and sending you a correct replacement.

GW86 Posted December 8, 2020 Share Posted December 8, 2020 @Patrick Connor Thank-you. Fingers crossed a one-off. Looking on the positive side, I get the Christmas-like sense of excitement at getting the workbook for a second time 😁 Patrick Connor 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m in the same boat, and I’m not the only other one. Edited to add: The label on the back says: Quote X0019NW35Z Affinity Publisher Workbook English The corners would have benefited from more protection than was ever going to be provided by a thin cardboard mailer for such a substantial book. Although not seriously damaged, they are slightly bashed.

Vile Traveller Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 Am I right in thinking that I will receive notification from Amazon once my (English) Affinity Publisher Workbook has shipped? I ask because I am moving house in a week, so if it hasn't shipped yet it might not arrive in time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
