Heyahey,
I didn't found anything about this, but I got to post this and it would be a great feature for all Affinity Products and not just Designer on MacOS...
Live-Preview and commenting on Affinity files.
The problem now:
I want to share what I've designed... this is how it goes...
Usually sending a customer a preview ends up with something like this: Screenshots with v1, v2, v3.1.3.2.3.4 _finali0hf0shfpa
It's a a mess, it's unorganized and even I don't get it after a while...
How would Live-Preview look like:
I'm making a Social Media Document for a customer with artboards, stuff outside artboards, ... , but since the normal customer is easily overwhelmed by the normal software UI and I don't want to send my whole master Document, I want so share what I designed with him easily.
So I upload the Document, share a Link and the customer has a limited web-view of what I've designed.
This means:
Viewing Design
Option to choose if stuff outside artboards will be shown or not
Commenting and setting some hot-spots
(Version history)
Full-Screen Preview
I want to set comment points on my design to describe something, without "direct embedding" them into the design
And: If I could see the comments while editing in Affinity, Live and in real-time. Would. Be. Killer.
I guess for this feature it would be nice to have two document "workspaces":
- Approved document (the shared one)
- In-Work document (What I'm actually working on, I don't want the customer to stalk me in my working 😐😀)
For those who are wondering. Yeah, I more or less simply described how Figma does it... But I have to say: This is awesome. Time-saving and dumb easy for me and the person I share the design with.
And: I would pay for this. Monthly. With pleasure more than 20 €. But it "just needs to work".
Give a thumbs up if you would love to see this, because I would! 👍
BTW: We should have a category for feature requests and questions/topics here which are not dedicated to one of the programs.
