I'm using Affinity Publisher on my iMac, and I've found something which doesn't work... I can set up margins when I open a new document, but I can't change them later. The help says:

  1. From the default context toolbar, or File menu, select Document Setup.
  2. In the pop-up dialog, select the Margins tab.
  3. Select the Include margins option.
  4. Do one of the following:
    Set the Left Margin, Right Margin, Top Margin, and Bottom Margin.
    Click Retrieve Margin from Printer to automatically set margins to the settings of your desktop printer.

The problem comes at 2. - there is no margins tab!!! What am I doing wrong?

Actually it comes at 1. The advice is wrong, Go to the Spread Setup, not the Document Setup.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.4 
Affinity Designer 2.4.0 | Affinity Photo 2.4.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.4.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

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

On my system, the instructions that match the ones you showed are from the Designer Help, not the Publisher Help.

My Publisher Help says:

To change page (master page) margins:
  1. Do one of the following:
    • On the Pages panel, -click a page (master page) thumbnail, and select Spread Properties.
    • From the default context toolbar, or File menu, select Spread Setup.
  2. In the pop-up dialog, change margin values in the Margins tab.
