Have you tried Rasterize & Trim, or did you only Rasterize?

Resource Manager, where I relinked all of them (400+), showed that all were a minimum of 300 DPI.
The question is whether it showed they were OK, or Missing.

@VJS: if you look in Resource Manager for that document, what does it show for those images?

When something is improved it usually has something added to it whether another part or feature or an improvement to that which is already existing but taking something away that was previously necessary is not an improvement its a digression.
When the problem is that a list is too long, shortening it can be an improvement. And in this case, the items were apparently deemed not necessary, perhaps because they felt that the (presumably few) users who need them can easily add them back. Of course, those users would view it as a a reduction of function, even if other users are happier with a shorter list.
We can only wait and see whether 2.4 or some later beta restores them. But in the meantime, you can easily add them back or create a Template rather than using one of the Presets.

Where is that choice?
There is no option like that in the Affinity applications.
Images are displayed in low-res if they are linked but missing, or linked but have not yet been fully loaded for display. They are in high-res when they are linked, not missing, and have been fully loaded.

I'm a great believer in "If it isn't broken then don't fix it!'
I think it was considered broken, as the list was long and unwieldy, and included too many options not needed by most users.
Removing some less-frequently used options was one of the "fixes" they made. The other was the addition of the Portrait/Landscape toggle, eliminating the need to define presets twice (once for Portrait, once for Lanscape).
Neither fix seems to have been popular with some users who post here in the forums.

so no idea where to place the topic.
Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
If you think it's a bug, and you're using macOS, you picked the right place.
However, as it's already been reported, and you seem to know that, there's really no need to make a new topic for it. You could simply post in one of the existing topics. For example, doing a Search from within the forums for "white balance" raw jpg (and making sure the search scope is set to Everywhere) finds this recent topic:
There, we can see from the post by a Serif Staff member a confirmation that the problem is known and still not resolved.

From the way Serif staff refer to the "Developers" I do sometimes wonder if these "Developers" are actually staff employed by Serif, or if are they some sort of automatous group who answer to no one but themselves! I also wonder how many of these "Developers" actually have any practical experience of using the software in the real world.
As I understand it, the Serif technical staff are broken up into at least 3 groups: Support (who handle these forums), QA (who do quality assurance and also handle these forums), and Developers (who write the code, and occasionally appear in these forums).

With respect Walt, that's a pretty lame excuse! I get the impression that the developers live in a world of their own with only minimal acknowledgement to users needs.
They said they were simplifying the dialog, and removing options not needed by most users that could easily be added back by the users who do need them.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
First, the correct place to post questions for the desktop applications is in the Questions forum, Affinity on Desktop Questions (macOS and Windows).
Next, the PSD handling is essentially the same between V1 and V2 as far as I know. But you could install the 30-day trial and test your files yourself.
For the text issues: I am not sure if those would count as bugs or feature requests. So this topic might be in the right place, actually
But Serif may need to see one of the files in order to make improvements in that area.

Looks like it's already reported, and logged as af-1416, and apparently fixed in the 2.4 Beta when that arrives.

It's there, but on macOS, it works on a toggle basis when holding the Option Key... 🙃
Well, that's silly. But thanks
And I see that when the Help is viewed from a Mac, it mentions that.

Are you able to upload your file so we can take a look. and could you confirm that you are using version 2.3.0 of Publisher?
He said he did not Save it, and it is only in Live Docs. Unless he can Save it, he won't be able to share.
From the Splash screen, he's using 2.3.0.
@Matteo GIacomelli: I would suggest trying to Save the document. From Live Docs, tap on the 3 bar icon on the upper-right of the document, and try Saving (or Save As) from there.
If that does not work, I would suggest a Restart of the iPad, and then a Reset of the application. To perform the Reset:
- Start the application
- When you see the Splash screen, quickly double-tap it with 1 finger.
- Click the Reset or Clear button on the lower right.

So where is the Document update promised by Patrick?
He did not promise anything other than to request the Developers to add them back (in other words, to reconsider their decision to remove those presets). And as there is a tag on this topic, he has done that. And all he said is "in a future update", which says nothing about when, even if the Developers agree.

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.
Unless you have RAW files, which must be processed by the Develop Persona, you should be able to do all your editing in the Photo Persona. And it can be non-destructive there, too.
What format are your files and how are you creating them?

Also, has anyone heard from the Affinity staff in regards to this issue?
If Mike is right about the cause (which he probably is), there's nothing more for the staff to say than they have elsewhere.
True EPS files can be handled by the Affinity applications. Those files are not really EPS fights, but a composite of an EPS container (which is documented and understood by Affinity) which holds a .ai file (a proprietary undocumented format that Affinity does not understand).
The stock sites should not say they are providing EPS files, but rather that they are providing Adobe Illustrator files which are not guaranteed to work for anyone but Adobe Illustrator users.

THERE IS NO ERASER TOOL.
You should have an Eraser Brush Tool in the Pixel Persona in the Designer application. You won't have it in the Publisher application.

"Synchronize defaults from selection" works with objects. Have you tried doing that operation after you draw the Rounded Rectangle, so you have a selection to use?

When you import brushes, the message tells you what kind of brushes were imported. E.g.,
Can V2 open PSD files more accurately than V1?
