affinity publisher preflight errors before export
HeyBraza points at the preflight panel and walks each red error to its page so you fix it before sending to print.
preflight is affinity's safety net - it flags overset text, low-resolution images, missing links and out-of-gamut colours before you export. most people never open it until a print job comes back wrong. here's where it is and how to clear it.
short answer
open window > layout > preflight and set 'check' to live. red icons are errors that block export, yellow are warnings that don't - click a page number to jump to the issue, and use the 'fix' button where one is offered.
or do it yourself
- 1open the preflight panel: window menu → layout → preflight, or click the preflight icon on the bottom-left page navigation bar.
- 2set 'check' to live (or click 'check now') to scan the document.
- 3read the list - a red icon is an error that blocks export, a yellow icon is a warning that won't.
- 4click an issue's page number ('m' means a master page) to jump straight to it, and use the 'fix' button where one is offered.
- 5clear every red error, then export - if export still stalls on a huge file, set 'check' to never temporarily.

downloadcommon questions
where is the preflight panel in the new affinity?
window menu → layout → preflight, or the preflight icon on the page navigation bar at the bottom-left of the window.
what's the difference between a red and yellow preflight icon?
red is an error that will interrupt export and must be fixed; yellow is a warning that won't stop export but is worth reviewing.
