I want to produce small magazines in different languages, using the English as my base. I want to keep the same formatting, styles, etc and just import a Word file for each language into a new text layer. In ID, I can simply duplicate the English text layer and replace the English with the new language, maintaining the styles. How do I do that in AP2, without losing all the styles and graphics?

I am following a photoshop tutorial, he was able to go into selections, choose an ellipse selection, create a circle ⭕️ and then he brought up the ui, and chose *transform* selection, and then added another selection ellipse inside an existing selection ellipse. I want to do that as well. I can’t find a transform for affinity photo 2 selection. So i tried, creating an ellipse selection, inside an existing ellipse selection… not possible it will disappear.. (i used intersect, add, new) to no avail.. the goal is to have two selection ellipses like this: in the youtube tutorial I’m watching (for photoshop), he was able to achieve what I show above, by transforming one of the selection ellipses: The end result, I am trying to accomplish, is the same as he did in his video (with the glowing rings on a button).. except i’m trying to accomplish it on my sphere - this is what he accomplished by having two ellipse selections inside each other: I know there are other ways to go about this effect (creating border rings) but this technique of having two selection ellipses inside each other, has opened me up to other ideas that I could use it for… so I’m hoping there is way of achieving this. Does anybody know how? I vaguely recall, AP1 had an option to do this, after creating a selection, there was a drag slider option.. that allowed you to create a double of the selection (one inside the other) I can’t find it in AP2 (unless my mind is hallucinating) and no such thing existed in AP1.
