I'm designing a book with facing pages and a master page spread with wider margins at the gutter than the outer edges. I may also add running headers that will be different on left and right pages. If I add an odd number of pages, I would expect the layout of the pages following that new one to be automatically adjusted to maintain the wider margins in the gutter, etc. (That is the default in Adobe InDesign and one of the major benefits of using master pages.) However, in Affinity Publisher, this doesn't happen by default. Is there some way to enable this, or is it a feature not yet implemented? I've searched the forums and see that other folks have run into this issue. I'm not looking for the suggestion that I just add or remove pages in pairs. I need help figuring out how to make Publisher master pages behave gracefully when an odd number of pages is added or deleted. Thanks. P. S. Before posting this I decided to test something. I made a new master spread with different margins and applied it to a spread set up with the old master. The margins of the content didn't change, so it appears that the master only serves as a guide for setting up the content, and that the spread layout isn't actually governed by the master page settings. Is that true, or do I just need to turn layout adjustment on? (There's a checkbox in InDesign for whether to allow layout adjustment when you change the margins.)

I was unaware that the program discount had been extended until I came across this thread. It turns out that I had already received the email Patrick Connor mentioned, but my mail program had pre-sorted into a mostly-junk "Promotions" folder. So those who think you should have received it but don't see it, run a search for Affinity@serif.com. When I ran that search, I discovered that Affinity had also sent an earlier notice that the discount on the software and the various fonts packs, etc., was set to expire on June 20. I hadn't seen that message either because of my mail program's automatic sorting.

I would also like to request that book and separate chapter/part management capability be added to Affinity Publisher. Thanks.

I would like to join the chorus requesting the addition of footnote/endnote capability to Affinity Publisher. Thanks.
