Opening apub files in iPadOS designer

[RorydEon]

Even though I can open an apub file in designer for iPad, it seems only 1 spread is available. Doing the same on my Mac, all the spreads are available.

is the iPad version of designer crippled in some way? Or, what am I doing wrong?

btw, all apps updated to latest as of apr 5, 2020

thanks

If same as PDF: Double tap to open. Make edits. Back arrow top left to close and return to doc workscreen.

That’s not helping me.

opening an apub file in designer for iPad allows me to work on a single spread only.

how do I set up my designer app, on iPad, to work on all the spreads the same way as the Mac designer app can?

thanks

I got it!

I read the help files.

It’s not an easy thing to find. Maybe make the Pages function be ON by default, or switched via preference just so it can be found.

love all apps, btw.

be safe during these times

I agree, not easy at all..... so where is it to be found??  
Edit. Are you talking about Affinity Publisher files? apub is not listed as a supported file in Designer help but then again neither is photo. Not having Publisher I'm assuming Pages function only appears in Context menu when a Publisher document is opened in Designer on the iPad.

Yes Dave, here is a sample I created for my hospital charity group showing the pages function. I would have answered this one earlier but didn’t understand the term “spread”.

@Paul Mudditt Thanks Paul, that makes it clear now. The OP's use of the term apub threw me. Not a file type I was familiar with. I was thinking maybe epub. Then I recalled the early beta tests and opening publisher files in Designer. 😁
As an aside .afpub .afphoto and .afdesign should probably all be listed in the supported files area of Help file as the file formats are all the same and can be opened in any of the apps.
