Summary

With this chapter behind us, you should now have a good overall picture of just how vast and varied the supported native document types within Animate are, and this doesn't even begin to touch upon the array of export formats available! We had a look at some history behind the different major platforms Animate supports and then explored many of the considerations and practices around each specific document type involved in these overall target platforms. We will continue to build upon the foundational knowledge established here in later chapters.

In the next chapter, we'll jump directly into Animate to examine the interface and overall layout of the software, with a comprehensive look at how to customize the toolbar, timeline, workspaces, and overall preferences of the application.
