When I place a Designer file in Publischer and then save the Publischer document, Publischer crashes. I have the files attached import.zip

I have a Publisher file created with the main releases of Affinity, Version 1 and Version 2. The file is 25.5 MB large, about 300 letter sized pages with photos, text, and artwork. When I opened the beta version today and notified there was a newer version, I downloaded and installed it. Without thinking about consequences, I opened my Publisher file and made some very minor changes to text and performed a 'Save.' The program disappeared and shut itself down. No warning, no error messages. The Publisher file can be opened and viewed fine. But when anything is changed, then saved the program disappears. Changes to the file are occasionally saved before the program crashes, sometimes not. Obviously, I am unable to open the file in the 2.04 Version to check its performance there because it was last saved as the later beta version. I have backup copies but none with the most recent changes. I didn't use any of the new features in the beta version on the file. I am willing to share the file with Affinity tech support but not with those on the Forum. How do I proceed?
