Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 Windows 10 22H2 19045.3930 With pad/merge AP will attempt to add/merge pages to maintain correct left/right page layout between chapters (or at least that's what it appears to do). One would expect that when AP adds a page that the new page would have the first master page from the selected style source chapter applied to it. But this does not happen. To the contrary, a completely blank page is inserted to pad which really just ruins the layout of any particular book rendering the Book feature a non-feature. The tool should at a minimum apply the first master page found in the style source chapter to the new page inserted to accomplish the padding. A better option would be to allow selecting which master page should be applied from the style source chapter. This seems to be a basic oversight on the part of the feature planning department. Its hard to imagine actually being able to use the Book feature in its current state to go directly to a published book. PS. I have read the several threads in the other forums regarding a number of issues with the Book tool. This one fix would seem to address several of the symptoms described in those threads.

I've had an intermittent problem with Designer V2 not saving on the iPad. I noticed shortly after V2 came out that auto-save didn't always work, so I've been manually saving my files every 20 to 30 minutes. I lost 3+ hours of work on an illustration today that I saved manually probably half a dozen times. When I opened it again all of my work was gone. I looked at the file in the folder and it said that the last time it was saved was several hours before, which was the first time I saved after creating the file. So frustrating! I've found V2 much buggier than V1. I hope this gets fixed or I'm going to have to stop using it and I really don't want to do that.
