Thank you for your help. I can't find a Hide option or Moderator Actions pull-down, so the post will seem to have to stay (and show my inability to understand the documentation) until someone else with the permissions could hide it.

Thank you for clarifying. I understand my misinterpretation of the Exclude from Snapping now. As for the other issue of alt-dragging, the operation is not clear on the documentation as there is no mention of the order in which alt and click-drag is performed. I'll try to delete these posts now. Thanks again.

OS: Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan Publisher 1.9.3 Selecting 'Exclude Snapping' on an image within a Picture Frame will still cause it to snap to guides -- it will simply exclude it from being a snapping candidate when other objects are being moved. To prevent it from snapping to other objects to smoothly reposition, click-drag the Picture Frame content and then press the alt/option key -- pressing the alt/option key before starting the click-drag will not have the same effect, causing a duplicate of the image content in another layer.

OS: Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan Affinity Publisher 1.9.3 Temporarily overriding snapping (for smooth repositioning of an image within a Picture Frame) using the Mac alt key only seems to work only if the alt key is pressed after the mouse key is pressed to click-drag the content (Picture Frame image content scaling property set to None). If the alt key is pressed before the mouse key is pressed, a duplicate of the image is created in another layer upon releasing the mouse key. This is not clear in the help guide. Affinity Publisher 1.9.3 duplicates Picture Frame content on alt-dragging to disable snapping - Mac OS 10.11.6 El Capitan.m4v picture frame test.afpub
