Great video! Thanks for putting this together. I’d like to see something similar on checking PCB placement and routing from the schematic. One tip I just learned is that using the Navigation panel, I can select a component or net, and if I ALT-click the item, it highlights it in both the schematic and PCB. Very helpful!

Thanks for the video. One issue that I have with this type of checking (c.f. with checking a netlist by hand with a highlighter) is that it appears that, using Altium, you have no full proof method of knowing what you have checked or not ! Is there anyway around this next to writing down on paper what you have already checked / where you are up to ?

I go through every page, every net and every pin as they are ordered in the Navigator window. This way I am sure I check everything. Hope it helps.
