If you've never done this before, the flow guide might be useful.
Open an issue for discussion before you start. A large rewrite tends to be very subjective, often only clarifying things for a small amount of readers. Professional copy editors have already reviewed this content multiple times. It's unlikely that your prose is going to be so much better that it's worth changing large portions of text.
The images in this book are generated using Sketch 3, with the included sketchbook file.
To create a figure:
- Add a page to the sketchbook. Use the included symbols wherever possible.
- Add a "slice" to your page. Name the slice so that it matches the destination PNG filename, relative from the root of the source directory.
- Set your slice to export at "800w".
