Hi @Gabe I uploaded the file after clearing out most of the images. The issue seems to come from a non-existent master page that was assigned to the last page. After deleting the layer, everything works fine again. This was pointed out by thomaso in the other thread. I don't know what went wrong or how I managed to mess this up. Cheers, Lars

hi, very good analysis @thomaso! You are right, after deleting the assigned master-layer that does not actually exist from the last page, all page operations seem to work fine again. Maybe I created this layer myself when messing around with the file while setting everything up. Since I've never used Publisher for a bigger projecte like this before I am not very experienced and might have messed something up. The original IDML file did not contain this so it must have happened somewhere along the way. By the way the name of the missing master page is shown to me as "Master-Seite" since I use the German version of the program. Might localization play a role in the issue? Find attached the original file I started with (contains no errors as far as I can see.) Thanks for the support! Lars indesign_content_template.idml

Hi thomaso, since I resolved this problem by deleting and later recreating the last page I didn't take the time to look into the problem more. But today I uploaded a broken file to a staff member. I was not able to find anything special about that last page that seemed to cause the problem. The page was empty. I created a version of the document without images. It still crashes when I try to delete pages. I've attached the packaged date. Cheers, Lars Lars_Package_20210619_none.zip

Hello again, for anyone struggling with this problem, here's the cause in my case and the solution that worked for me. Cause: When starting the project I used a template file originally intended for InDesign. It had facing pages (spreads) with a single page in the beginning and one at the end. The single page at the end seemed to cause the problem in my case. Solution: I was able to select and delete the last (single) page without a crash. Since then I can easily move, duplicate, insert and delete pages without any problems. I hope this helpes. Cheers!

Hi everyone! Has this issue been resolved? I am having similar issues now on Affinity Publisher 1.9.2.1035. Instant crash to desktop when I try to delete, add, duplicate or move pages anywhere in the document. I am running Affinity Publisher 1.9.2.1035 on Windows 10. The bug is reliably reproduceable on two seperate computers. I mistakenly posted this before in a MacOS thread about the same issue. Is it recommendable to try the latest Beta version as someone suggested?

Sorry I didn't notice the category and did not mention: I am using Affinity Publisher on Windows 10 not on MacOS. I tested it on two computers (both W10). Both have the same issues. Bug is reproduceable with my file.

Hi everyone! I am having the exact same issue. Crash to desktop when I try to delete, add, duplicate or move pages. I've packaged my file.@Gabe May I upload it somewhere for you to check? I am running Affinity Publisher 1.9.2.1035. Would you recommend to try the latest Beta version as garrettm30 suggested? Thanks for your help!
