I checked the specs of this new version of Publisher. There are many nice features in there. What seems to be missing is the export of a tagged and accessible PDF (PDF/UA). Also I don't see how I could publish a digital book (EPUB3) with this app.
I really hoped for some competition for Adobe InDesign which is capable of such output. Even Word produces such accessible PDFs and EPUB (with WordToEpub plugin).
With the output of Publisher still focused on print only I don't have many reasons to use it. All digital documents for governmental institutions and, within a few years in the EU, for many commercial companies as well, need to be accessible. Besides, I don't want to exclude anyone from using my documents.
I don't mind if I need to do some extra work with a tool like Adobe Acrobat for PDF or Sigil, Calibre, Ace by Daisy for EPUB3, but now I need Word, InDesign or some other app to create the document or book when I really would have liked to use Affinity Publisher.

I, sadly, can only add my voice to the chorus here. Essentially, not being able to produce tagged PDF makes Publisher simply not usable for a wide range of work - particularly, in many countries all government work. 
I’d be happy if it required you to do some work to get it to full PDF/UA compliance. But tagged PDF really needs to come from within the app. It would be great if Affinity gave us any indication at all of the state of these issues. 

Hello to Affinity Developers
I believe that it's time to have the opportunity to define the decimals also for color value like Lab, CMYK and not only for length.
Don't ?
😉

I would like to have the Local Contrast from the tonal value persona as a live filter in the Photo persona. The transition into the tonal value persona breaks the nondestructive workflow.

Bookmarks in the anchor/bookmark panel should be displayed in the same order as they will be generated in the pdf document.

This has probably been suggested already, but I really wish Affinity Photo could add a method of saving RAW edits using a xmp sidecar file (or other non destructive way like how Adobe Camera Raw remembers edits to dng files) so that I can re-open edited raw files a later date. An option to reset edits back to original settings of the RAW file should be included too.
The current method of having to bake edits after developing and to save as an .afphoto file is a pain, due to making another large file or having to re-edit the RAW again.

Almost every software, including PowerPoint or TextEdit is able to support static instances of Variable Fonts by now.
Unfortunately the metrics of Variable Font instances are completely off in Affinity products.
It is about time to start supporting Variable Fonts.
Screenshot showing static instances of a variable font above, single fonts below. They should act the same.

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

make a version for linux?

Are footnotes and endnotes currently possible (besides manually creating them, of course)? I haven't found them so far.
If not, this is a feature that I think would be widely used. I suspect it may take some time to get right if it is not yet under development, so I would understand if it is not a day-1 feature.

Is there way to flow the table over more pages? like when i add one more row on page one and the last row, that would otherwise be out of the page, flows to page 2 ?

How does Affinity Publisher deal with variable fonts? Are there any plans to integrate related features?

Hi,
does anyone know if the affinity-team is thinking about adding tagged-pdf-suport for accessibility to publisher in the future?
That would be a great and necessary feature!

form fields and interactive pdf export would be nice
