It seems I don't have a compile option. Is validate the same thing? Or the updated naming in Altium?

Validate flags 'footrprint' not found on everything.To clarify I have just finished the schematic on the Learn Altium Essentials Second Edition course.

Yes, in the old Altium it was called "compile" in the newer versions it is called "validate".They do the same thing.

Is it “ok” to move forward if the only validation flags are footprint issues? Since we haven’t done the footprints yet.

If you merely have 'missing' footprints, and not yet working on the PCB / footprints themselves. then yes.

For anyone reading this in the future, when you validate the schematic it also compiles it and in the menu that pops up there’s a notification about the compile status.
