Preview your finished chart in full colour, save a cover image for your project list, jump back to fix any last-minute issues, and tap Finish to leave the setup wizard and start stitching.

What this step is for

 

Final Review is the last step in the setup wizard. By now Markup R-XP has done all of the heavy lifting - pages, grids, overlap, symbols, colours - and it can show you what your finished chart will look like as a continuous colour image.

Use this step to do three things: check the result looks right end-to-end, jump back and fix anything that does not, and save a cover image so the project looks nice in your project list. When you are happy, tap Finish and the wizard closes, leaving you on the main marker view ready to start counting stitches.

The screen at a glance

 

The Final Review screen showing the chart rendered in colour, the confirmed-symbols panel on the right, and a floating chip on the left for view toggles.
Figure 1. The Final Review screen. (1) The chart is shown in colour-preview mode by default - a clean uniform-grid rendering of every cell. (2) The confirmed-symbols panel on the right lists every symbol and its colour. (3) A floating chip on the left edge holds the view toggles (preview on/off, picture view, fit-to-view, etc.). (4) Back returns to Set Colors. (5) Finish closes the wizard and opens the marker view.

The preview toggle

 

The preview toggle on the chip switches between two views of the chart.

Two side-by-side renderings of the same chart: on the left, the colour preview with each cell filled with its symbol's colour; on the right, the underlying chart with symbol marks visible.
Figure 2. Preview toggle. (1) Preview on - every cell is filled with the colour of its assigned symbol, so the chart reads as the finished embroidery. (2) Preview off - the underlying chart with grid lines and symbol marks visible, the same view you have been using through the rest of the wizard.

Preview on (the default)

Renders the chart as a colour image of the finished piece. Cells without a fully-assigned symbol stay blank, which makes any holes in your colour setup obvious.

Preview off

Shows the raw chart with the detected symbols overlaid on top - useful for spot-checking a particular area against the underlying PDF.

Note. Preview only turns on automatically when your project has at least one fully-assigned symbol. On a brand new project it stays off until you finish enough of Set Colors for there to be something to show.

The picture-view toggle

 

If you selected picture pages earlier in the wizard, the chip has a button that swaps the canvas between your chart and the finished-design photo. Tap to flip between the two and compare them visually.

The canvas now showing the photo of the finished cross-stitch design from the picture pages, instead of the chart.
Figure 3. Picture view. (1) The chip's picture toggle is now active. (2) The canvas shows the picture page (the photograph or illustration of the completed design) instead of the chart preview.

If you did not select any picture pages this button is hidden, and you can still add some by jumping back to Select Picture Pages via the chip on the panel.

Fixing last-minute issues

 

Most checks on this screen are visual - does the preview look right, do the colours match the picture page, are there any cells that look out of place. If you spot something to fix, you have several quick paths back into the relevant wizard step.

  1. Tap a symbol in the panel. The wizard jumps back to Set Colors with that symbol pre-selected so you can correct its colour or thread.
  2. Tap the picture-edit chip on the panel header. Jumps to Select Picture Pages with a return ticket; finish your edit and you land back here.
  3. Use the wizard Back button at the bottom. Walks one step back to Set Colors, then Set Symbols, and so on.

Tip. Jumping back from Final Review remembers what you were looking at. When you return after editing, the chart re-opens on the same area so you can immediately verify the fix.

Saving a cover image

 

The chip has a Take Cover Snapshot command that grabs the current preview and saves it as the project's cover image. The cover image is what appears in the project list and dashboards.

The Take Cover Snapshot button on the chip, and the resulting cover thumbnail shown in the project list dashboard.
Figure 6. Cover-image snapshot. (1) The Take Cover Snapshot button captures the current preview. (2) The image is letterboxed onto an A4 thumbnail and stored on the project, so it appears in the project list right away.
  1. Make sure the preview shows the whole chart. The snapshot always scales to fit before capturing, so any zoom or pan does not matter.
  2. Tap Take Cover Snapshot. A busy indicator appears briefly while the image is rendered and saved.
  3. A confirmation toast appears. Your cover is updated.

Heads up. Taking a snapshot overwrites the previous cover image. If you want different covers for different stages of work, you would need to back them up outside the app.

Finishing the wizard

 

When you are happy with the result, tap Finish in the bottom-right corner.

Markup R-XP commits the project, closes the wizard, and opens the main marker view. From there you can pan around the chart, mark cells as you stitch, switch between chart, key and picture views, and track your daily progress.

Note. The wizard is not one-way - you can return at any time from the marker view's menu to re-run any setup step. Your existing colour and symbol work is preserved where possible.

Tips and common questions

Here are answers to the most common questions about Final Review.

Q: The preview is blank for half the chart. What is wrong?

Answer: Those cells are not fully assigned to a colour-bearing symbol.

Turn the preview off to see what is in those cells - usually a symbol that needs its colour set, or cells that were never assigned. Tap the unassigned symbols in the panel to jump back to Set Colors and finish them.

Q: The picture-view button is not shown. How do I add a picture page?

Answer: Tap the picture-edit chip on the panel header.

That takes you to Select Picture Pages with a return ticket. Pick a page and tap Done, and you land back here with the picture view enabled.

Q: Can I keep editing after I tap Finish?

Answer: Yes - the wizard is reachable from the marker view menu at any time.

Finish is the way out of the setup flow, not a one-way commit. Your project's setup can be revisited and refined whenever you want.

Q: The cover snapshot looks weird - white margins, off-centre. Why?

Answer: The snapshot was taken while the chart was zoomed in or partially off-screen.

Tap fit-to-view on the chip first to make sure the whole chart is on screen, then re-take the snapshot. The crop logic only sees what is currently visible.

Q: What happens to my project if I close the app halfway through Final Review without tapping Finish?

Answer: Everything is saved.

The wizard saves your work after every step, so closing the app does not lose anything. When you reopen the project you will land back on Final Review (or wherever you left off) ready to continue.

What's next?

 

Tap Finish and you leave the setup wizard behind. The main marker view opens with your finished chart ready to stitch.

From there you can mark stitches as you complete them, flip between the chart, the key and the picture, and track your daily progress. Welcome to Markup R-XP - happy stitching.
