Edits to styles affect existing objects to which those styles have been applied


Recommended Posts

Here's a story to illustrate when this feature is useful:

In Designer I applied a style to all the buttons and text in a UI design for an iPad app.  When we started testing the app we found that the text was difficult to see so I created a new style with higher contrast.  Because I had used that style on about fifty different items, it took me twenty five minutes to select each one and apply the new style to each. 

 

Here's the actual feature request:

The styles in microsoft word (and also in CSS web design) are nice because once you apply a style to a section of the document, you can edit that style directly and all the portions of the document currently following that style will automatically update.  It would be really wonderful if affinity could also do this.  

 

A difficulty:

Sometimes I apply a style but then make changes to an individual item so that it doesn't exactly match the settings of the original style.  In this case, it might be best to just remove that item from the list of items following the style so that it won't get updated later when we make changes to the original style.

Hi sirhans,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

Thanks for your feedback.This is our first version and some features are not yet as refined as they could. There will be improvements later that will address those issues (symbols, global colours, selecting object by their attributes etc). Please bear with us while we work to get there.
