Introducing...the Source Workbook!

If you have on one half side RW, on the other the PDF, one side makes more sense šŸ˜„

Thanks all!

I have made a ā€˜pages’ version available for download on the site now. I’ll probably switch to only providing this in future (as it can then be set up as spreads by the reader).

I would like both. The single page PDF, so I can print out in booklet form on Create Booklet 2 and the spread, so I can view on my laptop/iPad

Brilliant, Stuart! Have downloaded it already. And I’ve been missing a proper manual in the RW world so much — there has been nothing since Joe’s book for RW5. Much as videos are great ways of learning, they are hopeless when you want to look something up. Elsewhere Affinity have been waving the flag for ā€˜the big book’ for a while, and I love them for it. So I sense a revival…

Yes - i love the Affinity books too. A big source of inspiration for this Source one :)

Single page, it just works much better on my ipad mini and phone. On my desktop I can set the reader in spread mode.

Hi Stuart, just bought the Source workbook, same email as my academy account (bought Lawyer/Vista)…cant access anything. Do understand things are migrating, just not sure how to proceed…thanks for any instructions

Hi @Piggles - did you get an email with an ā€˜Activate now’ link in it? If so then click on that.

If not then try using the ā€˜Forgot password’ option when logging in and a new one should get sent out. Let me know if you still have trouble.

And thanks for the purchase. Hope you enjoy the Workbook.

Hi Stuart

No critic, I am certainly not gifted as you, but when in the ā€œAcademy siteā€, the testimonials cards have different vertical sizes. Would n’t it better to equal heights for these ?

I bought this 30 minutes ago and I am so delighted. Wish I had purchased before - I thought I was good with Source, but I’m learning new and critical details already.

Great work @habitualshaker - this is a superb reference manual that is great to read too!

PS I prefer the Page option, as I can view as 2 pages if I wish, but looks better on laptop / iPad as a single.

Thanks @Nick!

My intention was to make the Workbook useful to everyone - regardless of their Source knowledge / experience level so is great to hear you are finding value in it.

Superb!

I too am loving the workbook!
A cheeky question - is your workbook based on an available template? I’d love a similar presentation for a manual I’m doing for my law firm - whose website was created with Source of course :)

Thanks @thorntonp!

No - i just put it together myself in Affinity Publisher. Happy to give you any pointers - or a starter file - if it is something you were looking to do yourself.


p.s. Love your site! It looks great.

Great site that’s very much outside of the box - literally.

Thanks Stuart!

A starter file would be amazing!!

If I can get a head start, I’d really appreciate it.

And if only half as good as yours, the finished product should look great.!

I’ve been a Rapiweaver for many, many years, but I’ve ditched all the themes and other frameworks in favour of Source, so please keep up the exceptional work!

Cheers,

Peter
