Master pages should be deduplicated if they are absolutely identical. Not sure about seeing extra pages - of course this shouldn't happen. As is so often the case, the documents used to demonstrate the failure would save us a lot of time.

Hopefully you'll find Text Editing Keys can be set up via Preferences > Keyboard Shortcuts and then in the second popup, under 'Text Input'.

The main toolbar and title bar are integrated. The general appearance is quite different. There is no fundamental change in functionality, however.

Apologies, Unified Toolbar feature should have been flagged as Mojave or newer.

Hi jakamaschi, Thanks for reporting this, we have found a similar problem and have a candidate fix for the next (beta) update.

Thanks, should be fixed now.

Thanks, should be fixed now.

Hi Seb Mi, We hope to add this drag drop at some stage, but in the meantime you can double click on an Asset to place generally, anywhere, or inside a Picture Frame by clicking in it.

Hi, I have just published a new beta - the focus is on stability and fixes rather than whizz-bang new features. We do have more significant updates in progress, but no dates at the moment I'm afraid.

Hi jmwellborn, I don’t think anything has changed with the auto-updater. I uploaded the auto-update patches around 4:15 (BST) - I don’t know how that fits in with your timing. A quick test run just after uploading worked as expected for me - I suppose best to just say let us know if you experience problems again.

Hi nwhit, Is there any chance you could share a document with us that is crashing?

Hi Jens Krebs, I see you have offered to share documents with us that demonstrate some of the issues you are having, and as far as I'm aware this has not been followed up. I'll ask someone to liaise with you to retrieve anything you can give us that may be useful. (Apologies in advance if this has already happened and I've missed it).
