Jowday...  Set it here:

@Omega G, 
You are more likely to get help if you used a meaningful title for your post, such as: How do I allow text to rest directly on the bottom margin evenly on each page?

This works in some cases in Affinity.
For example draw with Pen Tool, press Ctrl switch to Node Tool (correct node position or curve shape), release Ctrl - continue with Pen Tool. 

The truth is that the most common use of a template is to create a new document. Its adjustment is rarely done so double click difference would be understandable and natural (adequate New Form). However, opening a template should remain for her modification.

Options > Hide.

Like Copy + Paste, where any intermediate step is unnecessary and harmful.

Why should it be in the New dialog, whose purpose is to specify page size, margins, etc.?
The purpose of New from Clipboard is to produce something directly from the clipboard, not to have control beyond that. And why should it take additional clicks to get the document created, when it can be done with one using the File menu? (Or one keystroke using the keyboard shortcut.)

As specified
It is about the new NEW-Menu:
 

That was clear to me. What is the (your) benefit to have the option there, compared to File -> New from Clipboard or with the shortcut Ctrl+Alt+Shift+N?

How did you reduce the size of the image? Was it Document > Resize? Which resizing algorithm did you use? Was it Nearest Neighbour? Bicubic? Lanczos? Which algorithm did you use in Photoshop?
Reducing from 3744 x 5616 to  pixel size 420x375, you would expect a significant loss of quality.

Lagarto, Psenda, Walt, and all: I set up Publisher on a newer machine here, iMac Retina, Mohave 10.14.3, i7 processor, 32 GB memory, and asked it to link to several hundred Illustrator drawings of tree buds. These are fairly complex drawings, 5-10 MB each, lots of shapes and gradients. Publisher handled them without and hesitation or fuss, and saved and reopened the file without incident, in a matter of a few seconds.
So, unless I run into problems in even larger files, everything is working. My conclusion is that while Publisher runs under Mac OS 10.10, it cannot link to large numbers of vector files, either in Designer or Illustrator format, without generating errors and crashing. I love working in Publisher, and am pleased with this outcome. And grateful for your help. I will continue to work in it -- book of about 500 pages, maybe 2,000 illustrations and maps -- and am sure I will have other questions as I go along.

I have a similar problem using colors from Presets (Pantone, etc). I need the selected color to remain somehow marked/highlighted so that I can easily select a lighter/darker shade. Unfortunately, the selected/used color is not highlighted in any way, so it is just a confusing array of colored squares in which I easily get lost.

.... 64 bit. 

Ah, sorry. It's not there. I missed which application you were posting about.
Publisher wants to create page-based documents, and New from Clipboard is more for images (Photo) or design layouts (Designer). That's my guess why it's missing.
 

Just a suggestion, I haven't tried myself.
Affinity application settings are stored in individual *.xml files (in Windows).

 
These files could be synchronized between computers using OneDrive/Dropbox/....
(they would need to be mapped to HardLink/SymLink to the file sync folder).

I can't answer your question, but having the post title "John" is not going to direct many people to try and help!
Perhaps something more descriptive like "Duplicate icons after update to v1.8"?

This sounds like a good job for APublisher (now is the perfect time to try - the trial is extended to 90 days).

It needs to show you all the linked or embedded files, and each needs some kind of status
As for Designer detecting changes in an embedded file there were one or two bugs in that area that were fixed in 1.8 or one of its revisions. 

Tooltip/Hints, meaning the Desktop tool instructions when tool selected are not available, a competent context menu is and a neat feature, press ?, see attachment.
