Ok, didn't have that on my radar. Learned something new. Then I wish you good relaxation from work while reading the Serif forums. 😉

Nothing that is written about hopes for upgrade offers here in these forums will ever change, not even so slightly influence, the pricing policy of Serif and what they decide about it. Wasted energy by creating such posts.

Sorry, dass ich mich jetzt auf Deutsch an diesem Thema beteilige. Die Sprache liegt mir einfach besser. Eine automatisiert erstellte Google Übersetzung folgt aber am Ende des deutschen Textes.
Ich hoffe, ich kann das Thema „Querverweise“ nochmal ins Rollen bringen.
Ich bin sehr an der Überarbeitung eines Software-Anwender-Handbuches (erstell mit Word 2016 – 257 Seiten) interessiert und würde dafür gerne den Publisher verwenden. In diesem, von mir erstellten Handbuch gibt es sehr viele Querverweise in der Form von „siehe Seite 123“.
Im deutschen „Affinity Publisher WORKBOOK“ habe ich solche Querverweise auch schon auf vielen Seiten gefunden. Alleine auf den Seiten, auf denen sich die Mitwirkenden vorstellen, wird auf deren Kapitel mit einer Seitenzahl verwiesen.
Im Vorwort wird erwähnt, dass das Workbook mit Affinity Publisher entworfen und produziert wurde. Nun stellt sich mir die Frage ob bei der Erstellung dieses hervorragenden Workbooks die Aufnahme der Querverweise mit (z.B. „Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland – Cover auf Seite 362“) von Hand eingetragen wurden. Sollte dieses Workbook einmal um eine neue Seite ergänzt werden, so wäre ein Überarbeiten der Seitenzahlen wohl eine Menge Arbeit.
Bitte zeigt mir einen automatisierten Weg zum Verwalten und Aktualisieren von Querverweisen.
Am besten nehmen die Entwickler die Querverweise in ein kommendes Update auf. Ihr habt so eine tolle Software erschaffen. Da werden doch wohl die Querverweise kein unlösbares Problem darstellen. Danke schon mal im Voraus für Feedback…oder für ein neues Update =)
LG

Translation:
Sorry that I am now involved in this topic in German. The language just suits me better. An automatically generated Google translation follows at the end of the German text.
I hope I can get the topic of "cross-references" rolling again.
I am very interested in revising a software user manual (created with Word 2016 - 257 pages) and would like to use the publisher for this. In this manual, which I have created, there are many cross-references in the form of "see page 123".
In the German “Affinity Publisher WORKBOOK” I have already found such cross-references on many pages. Only on the pages on which the contributors introduce themselves are referred to their chapters with a page number.
The preface mentions that the workbook was designed and produced with Affinity Publisher. Now the question arises whether the inclusion of the cross-references with (e.g. "Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland - Cover on page 362") were entered by hand when creating this excellent workbook. If a new page should be added to this workbook, revising the page numbers would be a lot of work.
Please show me an automated way to manage and update cross-references.
It is best for the developers to include the cross-references in an upcoming update. You made such great software. The cross-references will probably not be an unsolvable problem. Thanks in advance for your feedback ... or for a new update =)

The lack of cross references (unless I have overlooked the addition of it) is a real road block to me. I would like to finally start using APub for more than testing and playing around. But the lack of that feature still makes me have to fall back on Word or other software atm.

I specifically searched for such a thread of appreciation, so that I can second that commendation and not clutter the forum with multiple such posts.
I just read the "Feedback for Affinity Publisher on Desktop" forum and while it is understandable that there are a lot of impatient voices (including mine), I think that 99 % of the folks there are very happy with your overall work and the path where it is going and really wish the best for Serif and your Affinity suite. No one wants to cause undue pressure at all which would only cause negative stress and thus be like throwing a spanner in the works. We are just like children wanting that candy that we see (or invision) behind the store window. Of course, it is logical that you cannot do everything at once. You guys are doing a great job! Please, be patient with our impatience and don't let it get you down. ;-) Keep up the good fight/work at your own pace. Thank you for this fine software suite and your work of staying in contact with us through the forums!!

Best regards, S.

Wow, thank you. I did try to search before this post but it didn't really lead to successful results. Don't know.what I did wrong. Thank you again.
