[What is a smart node?]

It similar to a smooth node but 'smart' in that affinity determines the shape of the curves required between the nodes.

with pen tool in pen mode, draw a rectangle. Now with node tool convert each corner node to smooth. Now set pen tool to Smart and draw a rectangle same size as before. Note the shapes are the same but no conversion needed.

There's a good description of the various nodes here. https://www.shortcutfoo.com/blog/affinity-designer-pen-and-node-tools-tutorial/

This link was super helpful.  Incredible this was posted in 2018 but people still finding it all the way in 2021.  Thanks !

[Edit All Layers]

Turning off edit all layers actually did the trick. But I thought the opposite was true. That I needed it on to edit the way I wanted to.  Any knowledge or insight anyone can add is appreciates]d

[Edit All Layers]

Hello

can anyone tell me if the edit all layers feature is available on the iPad app.  I cannot seem to find it in any menu and I’m working in layers on an art board and I cannot use then move tool to select anything. I have to go to the layers panel to select the layer.  Newbie here taking an affinity designer online course and tried googling but could not find an answer to this question.  
 

TIA
