Warnings and advice messages are spare in Finale (though this may have changed since 2K3, which I use). I had an embarrassing moment just a few weeks due to my haste combined with the lack of critical Finale warnings in part extraction (or even an identification on the score that part extraction is turned on). I had to make a change in a part for my orchestral piece in rehearsal -- just a small thing, moving to another player about 8 measures on the last page of a part. I made the change in the part, printed it again, ran out the door, and drove 120 miles to the rehearsal. Since it was on the last page, I didn't check for page turns, or I would have noticed that ... yes, I hadn't toggled part extraction off and on, so that change was still hidden under the block rest. :( Pen & ink came to the rescue until the next day. A little warning like this might have helped: "Special part extraction is ON. Changes made within hidden areas will not be visible. To show changes, re-extract this part."
