Altium Develop connects your schematic, sourcing, and manufacturing in one place, so once your design validates clean it's ready to move forward: altium.com/develop?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=video&utm_campaign=altium-academy-shorts&utm_content=validate-your-schematic-in-altium-before-pcb-layout
Before you move from schematic to PCB layout, run an electrical rules check to make sure your design is clean. In this short from the Altium Designer Quick-Start Tutorial with Phil Salmony of Phil's Lab, Phil shows the fast way to do it in Altium Designer: right-click your project and click Validate. If nothing shows up, you're good to go; if it does, open Panels → Messages to read the compiler output. Once you see "Compile successful, no errors found," you're ready to move over to PCB design.
It's a small habit that saves big headaches — catching unconnected nets, duplicate designators, and other schematic issues before they follow you into layout. Watch the full quick-start tutorial for the complete schematic-to-PCB workflow in Altium Designer.
