Hi, renaming and moving anchors seems to be broken. The sample apub file and an animation is attached. I am on the latest Apub2 version. I have a file coming from Apub 1 and whenever I try to use anchors they behave very inconsistently. Please check the gif inside the zip. Changing hierarchies of anchors then renaming them sometimes simply reset the anchors name and hierarchy position. I have over a 100 anchors in my document that behave in that way, which makes it very hard to work with them. Since some are already used as hyperlinks I would prefer not to spend a couple of hours again to redo everything. anchor_test.afpub anchors-anim.zip

Publisher 1.9.2.1035 on Windows 10. I’ve just had to manually delete hundreds of anchors from a document which I didn’t add myself. Most of them had bad names or were duplicates - can't trust them either way - so I wanted to wipe them all and start from scratch manually. I had to delete them one-by-one as I couldn’t find a way to select them all and delete. Hence my question in the post title: How can I stop this happening again? They look like they were created via Paragraph Styles but I couldn't see anything in the Paragraph Style formatting about anchors. These three threads are about other problems with anchors but none, that I can see, are about stopping them being created in the first place: https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/80096-anchors-and-hyperlinks/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/124215-the-new-bookmarks-feature-is-very-bad-190742/ https://forum.affinity.serif.com/index.php?/topic/137011-anchors-borked-and-usability/
