If you are a new arrival to this thread and have found that it is locked but still want to show your support for Affinity on Linux, simply like this post

Just in case: The macOS PDF viewer may display transparent areas as black if black is set as background color in the customisable app preferences.

Perhaps you can give the developers a moment of breath to come up with some explanations 😉  But there is nothing wrong to gather together some insights on how this works by us forumsters.
Actually it is worth going over to the Mac and Windows beta forums, because there are already some things to read (and learn). Among them it turns out that merging image paths seems not to work on Windows, currently. But there is also a short video showing how that works on the Mac.
Basically it works like this:
There's a new menu entry 'Data Merge Manager...' where you first set up different (or just one) data sources. These can be .csv or .json files or Excel tables. Then you go to 'Studio > Fields' where you find at the bottom of the list these data sources and their fields. Double clicking on a field name (this is important) inserts a field placeholder into a text element (text frame or artistic text). Note: this also works for image frames if the source contains absolute paths to image files (but with a bug on Windows). Finally, once your design is finished, you return to the 'Data Merge Manager...' and click on 'Generate'. This creates a new and unnamed document with the merged data. There is also an additional new tool called 'Data Merge Node Tool'. With this you can create grid layouts that exactly distribute mulitple repeats of one base layout. It is very similar to a label printing setup in a word processor.

There will surely be some documentation and probably some videos once the feature is released. For the moment, as it is in its first beta appearance, we can expect things to be rough. Betas are not released so people can use the features early, but rather for those who are willing find the bugs and report them. And not just bugs, but also feedback about how something is implemented.
