I need the blend tool too!!!
 

I just used the replace colour function in the BETA version - I love it. It literally made my day and saved me loads of time.

Thank you that is very helpful, glad you explained that I can have both versions. I shall experiment and see what happens.

Well, in the immortal words of Galileo Galilei, "Eppur si muove". 🌎
In the current Mac beta of Affinity Designer (1.9.0.2), I can create, edit, open and save documents and then open them in the current Mac retail version (1.8.4). Of course that may change with the next beta, and I would be the last to rely on it for Important Work.

That is surprising. Generally for a major update (e.g., from 1.8 to 1.9) the files are not downward-compatible. That's part of what changing the .x part of the number indicates.

Affinity don't recommend it, and it is at your own risk.
But if you download the beta you can run it alongside the original, it won't replace your retail copy.
I've just created a document with multiple rectangles with the same colour fill in the retail version, saved and closed, then opened it in beta, replaced all the colours using Select - Same - Fill Colour, saved and closed, and re-opened in the retail version without any issue.
It's not a real-world test, but you could give it a try on a copy of anything important.
 

Check out (and try out) the newest betas of Affinity Designer. This functionality is in the pipeline. 

Do you have Affinity Photo as well, if so this might help you

Hey reglico,
after hours of looking for a tutorial to manage  how this works, I've found one that showed me how to create a brush (in a way I could understand :D).
This morning I got the time to test it. Et voilà it worked.
I could create these brushes which I had in illustrator before.

But nevertheless, reglico I thank you so much for your time.!
 
I attched the brushes I made this morning. So if someone is interested in using them, go for it.
