Workflow tip worth repeating

For a best practice workflow, placed images like this sketch image should either reside in the same folder as the Affinity Designer file or they should at least be close to each other. If the sketch gets moved around on your hard drive after you have placed it into your file, Affinity Designer will say it's missing the next time you open the file and you will need to relink it. A good way to avoid this is to keep it close...
