Reto

I'd second (or third) this request, certainly for book covers and tri-fold leaflets etc. Currently setting up a book cover/jacket or tri-fold leaflet artwork as a single page means
a) no crop marks on the exported PDF indicating the spine width or fold marks for a tri-fold and
b) a lot of manual adjustment of the page elements should there be a need to change the spine width
Would be 'nice' to have the functionality of ID in this respect with the ability to have unlimited pages in a spread but certainly three pages for book covers with the ability to adjust the width of the centre page independently of the front and back cover to accommodate changes in spine width which then includes the addition of crop/fold marks for the spine in addition to the crop marks for the front and back covers.
I suspect this is going to be a heavily requested feature...

That's a big miss for me - I often design exhibition panels where I need to put maybe 7 or 8 panels side by side; I need to save the whole thing as a spread for client to visualise it, but then save pdfs as separate panels to send to print. Indesign currently copes fine with this. I realise I can use Designer for that with Artboards, but the image placement controls, Resource Manager and text controls already make Publisher a more attractive prospect for this sort of work - but not if limited to 2-page spreads.

Multi page is so important, for me too. Please include that in the next version. Other than that, we find Affinity Publisher a genius tool for publishing. Thank you!

There are several instances where this is important, and frankly, one of the ONLY reasons I keep InDesign around. I produce several multi-fold brochures with 7-8 panels. Each panel is a page, but can be arranged as a spread. Specific work is done in each panel, and often a single image spans all pages/folds. However, individual page size is adjusted to allow for folding space. Doing this in Designer is quite tedious and creates a much more convoluted workflow.
Another example are book cover designs where front, back and spine are separate pages arranged as a spread. This is particularly helpful when the author is finalizing the book and the page count often changes, thus the spine width must also change. Again, doing this in designer is tedious and create extended workflow.
The issue of export to pdf with crops, working on individual design elements and such is critical in the print publishing workflow.
So second, third or 10th this request.

This is so needed and a must have for any publishing program. 

Yes, please add shuffling. Please.

Same here! Please please please implement multiple page spreads. Otherwise it's time to say thank you to a very strong alternative to InDesign. Congratulations!

There are times when a 3 page spread would be useful (as in I currently use on a regular basis in InDesign): book cover designs, tri-fold pamphlet design etc. Is this something that will work with the official release?

Could we change the spreads?
I don't always work using facing pages but still wish to use spreads Could we also change the number of pages in a spread ( I can go as high as 10+ pages in a spread on a regular basis) Could we also have different page sizes in the same document (in height as well as width)? Could we also be able to colour code the pages I use InDesign a lot and these are the core feature I use on a daily basis, see the screenshot of InDesign to illustrate my point 

I would love that feature to be implemented as well. I've downloaded Affinity Publisher and I must say it's very very very good already! Keep going on!
