you could always indent (or center) it.
You are welcome to try it.
When you place text into multicolumn text frame it starts (logically) from the first column to the last one. So in first column there is a title, subtitle (which is usually more than 5 lines), then comes text which flows one one or more pages. Now, want to span the subtitle in columns 2 and 3, but I can't because it is in column one. To do that, I have to relocate the subtitle between 2 paragraphs in the second column which is not so practical.

Yes, but Header 2 is already in column 2. Try with Header 1 and span it between 2 and 3.

Yes, if the header would start in column 2 when spanning was absent (if it is far enough into the text), then setting it to span 2 columns accomplishes that.
What I missed to say is, what about the text that will be spanned is in first column? It can't be spanned on columns 2 and 3. Spanning will always start from column 1.

That is interesting. In QuarkXPress, you can choose to span "all" columns in which case it behaves that way, or you can choose to span some number of columns, and if you choose some number of columns which is fewer than what is left in the text flow, it starts the span from the column that the paragraph naturally falls into (the one where it would be located if it had not been spanned).
Lets say there are 4 columns. Can it be spanned between columns 2 and 3?

I need span columns for every chapter head. In every single one of my RPG books. New to the product today, and am shocked it's not there.
@DreadUnicorn welcome to the forums.
This feature together with split columns is on a waiting list for many years, but still nothing. No one knows when they will be implemented. All we can do is to wait.

Just, maybe, looking at an independent comparison, showing all the features of each app, would be slightly fairer!
Yes, it would. But primarily I put this file for Affinity to see what is missing to catch up the big players.

It is always nice to compare apples with peaches. What Quark did not tell: the lifetime licence is 7x the price (524€) of AFPub and to get updates after one year you have to pay 339 €/yr. Or you use the subscription model for 237 €/yr.
It is simply unfair to compare products in a totally different pricing range. If people are so unhappy, get rid of Affinity and move on to Adobe or Quark.
We don't talk about prices, but about features.

Is there still an aggressive development roadmap for the Affinity Suite?
There is not, but I can suggest to Affinity Team, the one from the QuarkXPress site:

Hard to reproduce, so please read it carefully.
I created a book (A5 format) with name "kniga.afpub" (in English: "book.afpub").
In the middle of the work, Publisher asked me to save under another name (for some reason), so I named it 'kniga1.afpub".
When I finished it I create a copy of "kniga1.afpub" and renamed it as "kniga B5.afpub" because I wanted to create B5 format of it. At this very moment Publisher obviously remembered internally the previous name ("kniga1.afpub").
And now I renamed "kniga1.afpub" as "kniga A5.afpub". At this very moment Publisher obviously remembered internally the previous name ("kniga1.afpub"), too.
Now, I created PDFs from both of them and got correct PDFs -- "kniga A5.pdf" and "kniga B5.pdf".
When I opened them in Adobe Acrobat Pro DC the TABs showed "kniga1" for both of them next to each other, while Acrobat saved them in "Recent" list correctly.
They keep open as "kniga1" from now on.

- Start by drawing an open or closed object;
- Select the pen or pencil tool and click once on an existing node of the first object or twice on any other part of the first object;
- Start drawing a curve which is now connected to the first one;
- You may leave it open or click once on an existing node of the first object or twice on any other part of the first object to close it and make the second object connected with the first one;
- The objects can be filled or outlined separately;
- If you fill the second object the color follows the mutual border between the two objects because it is now a closed shape so there is no imaginary straight line between the first and the last node of the second object.

There is a "silent" versioning in macOS each time you issue a Save command, but apps developers need to use the specific API — and it's not the case for Affinity…
It should be implemented on OS level, not on apps.

If they already have a function programmed for this, it shouldn't be difficult to separate width and height...
Yes, they have it -- in the "Print" when you choose "N-up" model in "Layout".

But it does take more storage, so probably you will periodically delete some of the older versions to save space.
In 1986 I was working on VAX/VMS OS. It automatically numbered the files whenever you save it -- like a.txt;1 a.txt;2... And when you were done working on the file, there was a PURGE command that deleted all previous version except the newest one. Windows and MacOSX are missing this way of dealing with files.

I have never seen such a list from any commercial software company that I have dealt with.
There is always first time for anything.

Oh, I asked about a public list of bugs a while ago for exactly this reason, to avoid double, triple, multiple posting of the same
The best solution is to have a list of unsolved bugs -- the same way they inform us which ones are solved -- and when a certain bug is solved they should remove it from the list. So, we will always know what is left to be solved.

2. Open the modified document from the contributor
I don't want the contributor to see the definition of the styles at all. They can modify the content of the text but not to edit the styles.
