??? You mean they will continue to exist (& still be visible in the document window), just not be visible in the Layers panel, right?
If so, what happens if in the document window, a user selects something in one of the other artboards, or that artboard itself?
Comparing to Publisher where you have facing pages or multiple pages in a spread:
If you select one page, the other page(s) are still visible and you see everything on these pages in the document window but only layer(s) of the selected page in the layers panel.

1. So if I understand this correctly, if an artboard is selected in this new Artboards studio, all other artboards in the document would not be visible in the Layers panel?
2. Would this also hide all the others in the document window or would they still be visible there?
1. Of course, because they will exist in the Artboard panel only.
2. They would be visible as the pages are visible in Publisher.

There is no bug, that's how it was coded "by design". – Your goal requires a certain workflow & setup
Thanks Thomaso, but this is too complicated. Some features in the apps are not so easy to understand how to use them.

This is just for testing purposes. I thought it would work as easy as you put an object over 3 page spread in Publisher, but obviously, it didn't. And then, there is

another confusion with Artboards. They deserve their own panel. They are not layers, but objects (something like pages in Publisher) that can have their own layers.

Your yellow rectangle is a child layer of the Artboard3 layer and so you cannot see the bits of the yellow rectangle which are outside of the boundaries of the Artboard3 layer. The yellow rectangle is clipped by Artboard3.
Thank you for the answer, but can you offer me a solution? I can't make it parent layer.

Why Designer does not properly displays an object that spans on 2 or more artboards?
The object is shown at the top of all layers only if I move it on the top of the Artboard3 layer, but when I want to reposition it -- only a part of it is shown. Am I doing something wrong, or is it a bug?

I hate to be thick headed, but I truly don't understand the use of facing pages in a multipage spread. You are literally defining individual pages (I keep using the trifold as an example) which is made of up of three individual pages in a single spread. Which pages are facing which in this case?
The goal is simply to print the spread with all three pages in the order in which you set them. If you export spreads, that layout should export. If you export pages, you should get three separate pages.
My gut tells me software engineers and not designers are developing this implementation.
If you create covers, ads, trifolds and other kind of spreads, you can use not-facing pages, but if you have spreads inside a book -- the pages of the book must be facing pages and the spreads should be, too, combination of facing pages.

What about this idea:
regardless the pages in the book are facing or not-facing they should be exported in PDF as single pages, but... if there are spread(s) they should be exported as spread(s), so the printer could get the idea how pages should be prepared for printing?

It shouldn't do, see the screen recording in the 5th post on this page...
Yes, it shouldn't. It is a bug and Affinity will take care of it during this beta cycle.

The problem is that with a non-facing page document when you select All Pages, it exports as a Spread instead of individual Pages which is what it should do...
A-ha... the same problem occurs with facing pages, too.

Thanks for taking the time, but I'm not clear on what it is you're doing here.
My recommendation to you is to use facing pages when working with spreads, because in that case you have all options you want: spreads and pages.

I believe the issue is with non-facing page documents where All Pages fails to export All Pages but instead, exports Spreads...
...and this is with no-spreads:

Is that with a facing or non-facing page document?
With facing pages.

Thanks. But I'm not exporting - I'm printing. So for example, if I want to print my trifold on 8 1/2 x 11 paper, how do I do that?
First PDF then print.

I'm beyond excited to see this feature added - I've been looking for it since v1! But here's a really dumb question/issue... I can't find how to PRINT my 3-page spread. For example, I have a tri-fold comprised of six pages- 3 pages per spread. I want to print them and the print dialogue doesn't show me the option for spreads. I'm thinking it's a setting in the new document setup dialogue, but can't figure it out.
Thanks, everyone!
Choose "All Spreads" from "Area" when exporting PDF.

Crop marks should be limited to the slug area, I would think?
No, they are independent from the slug area.

Wouldn't that be solved by adding 2mm of bleed area?
No, it wouldn't. By adding 2 mm you will only make bleed area bigger, but the crop marks will be at the same position. Crop marks are positioned partly in the bleed area and in InDesign you can change their distance from the page so they can be positioned even outside bleed area.

It would be great to have it work properly, so one doesn't have to do those acrobatics.
I can imagine artists wanting to be able to eventually produce all sorts of tiled designs, that can effortlessly be output as print ready PDF.
I think it will be well suited for Designer.

Making updates to a Multipage Master Spread fails to show the UI background once a page has been repositioned; instead, it shows the white page background...
It would be more intuitive (and much faster) if we can reposition pages by drag and drop instead with absolute values.

The number of sides for a master is limited to 10 but there isn't an upper-limit on the number of pages in a spread. I believe ID limits you to 10 and another app I used limited you to 99 which was too high.
It depends of the software how big page you can create within. I think Quark allows about 4m x 4m page so you can calculate how many pages (depending of the book size) you can put in a row.
Designer do not properly displays an object

In Artboards panel you see the list of all artboards. If none of them is selected you see nothing in the layers panel. If you select one of them you see only its objects in the layer panel, but on your screen you see all artboards and all objects you placed on them even the objects outside of the artboards (depending on your zoom level).
