Create a shape Assign a pantone Duplicate the shape Assign another pantone Duplicate the shape one more time Assign another pantone And so on. 1/ APub creates a new palette "document" with the first pantone. OK but the name is not "Pantone XXX" but "Global color 1". We need to rename it. 2/ Others pantone are ignored. We need to create them manually. 3/ Although shapes 3-4-5, etc have others pantone, they all have "Global color 2" !!!! We need to click on each global color to correct it. Pantone and global colors are very confusing and not user friendly. I hope you will change this in next releases.

Hi, I'm trying to create a global palette for my document using pantone colours. Each time I choose a pantone colour to use, a new empty document palette is created and my old palette disappears. Attached I have a short video to further explain this. Affinity Designer 2020-12-01 15-34-35_Trim.mp4

Hi, I noticed a slight modification with the new beta. Earlier, when adding a Pantone as global colour, we had to option to modify the swatch name ("global colour x") and modify the global colour name ("Pantone 123 C"). Now, we can only modify the global colour name (that's better!), but the name is "global colour x" instead of "Pantone 123 C". There's no reason to have global colours named as "global colour x" when using nomenclatured colours as "Pantone 123 C". And it's the same with any colour, in fact: the white triangle in the corner of the swatch is enough since the swatches are always visible in the palette, they should be name depending of colour values, unless we want to add "global" in the name, but this is a choice we should make. For now, we have to add first the colour to the palette, and second to make it global if we want to keep the name, or add it global and rename it. It should be one in one step only.

Hi, When clicking on a Pantone swatch, a new document palette called "document" is added to the document, even if there's already a document's palette I just created and name for this work. It shouldn't, and should add the swatch to the already existing document's palette. The question is: why clicking on a first Pantone will add a document'palette and add this Pantone to this palette, but clicking on second, third and n'th Pantone don't add them? It would be best to not create this first palette and not add colour to it, since we can be searching for colour and don't want them in a palette unless we find the right ones. Second bug: I can delete this useless palette, but if later I click again on anothe Pantone swatch, again, a new document's palette will be added with this colour in it… really annoying.

All current betas and retail 1.7.3 Affinity apps on macOS 10.13.6 Problem: global swatches of Pantone colours not being added to Document palette despite the colours being displayed as global in the Colour panel. When picking a swatch in a Pantone palette, the Colour panel displays the colour in Tint mode with text stating "Global Colour n" (where n is an integer) and the Pantone code in parentheses, and there is an Edit Global Colour button. At this point, I expect a global colour swatch of the Pantone colour to have been automatically added to the Document palette. If no Document palette existed when the Pantone swatch was picked, then Document palette has now been automatically created and a global colour has been added to it, and the Edit Global Colour functionality accessed through the Colour panel is effective. Good. However, if the Document palette already existed when the Pantone swatch was picked, then a global colour has not been added to the Document palette and the Edit Global Colour functionality accessed through the Colour panel is ineffective despite the panel being in Tint mode and claiming that the colour is global. Bad.
