I am using Affinity Designer for Mac. In a document, I have numerous artboards. I'd like to add guides to one artboard (I'll call it Artboard B) to match the existing guides of another artboard (Artboard A). However, when I select Artboard B, I can no longer see the guides in Artboard A. So, is there any way to see the guides in Artboard A while Artboard B is selected? If there's no way to see them, is there any way for me to copy and paste the guides from Artboard A to Artboard B?

Thanks!

I don't think there's a way to see the Guides on a non-selected Artboard. Nor is there a way to copy/paste them.

You might try View > Guides Manager, which will give you a numeric display of their locations. You could then create Guides on the other Artboard at the same locations.

Another way is to set the guides on A then duplicate it, the guides are carried over to the copy.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
