Preparing the layout proof…

Check the entire proof before sharing. Long wording may wrap, show an ellipsis or be clipped to its panel. Lists and tables show only the first listed rows that fit the template. SVG text remains editable; PNG is a flattened copy. Confirm physical size, margins and paper with your printer.

## A worked example

Hypothetical example: the source identifier ties the front and inscription images to a scan filename, while the date remains a family estimate.
