Peter Vu Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 Hi, would it be possible to have Layers that are working similar to Indesign. so that object inside the layers would close on all pages then turning the "global" layer of. I work with documents that contain e.g. Multiple languages. So I would need to enable or disable the layer of a specific language for all pages at the same time. Hope the explanation is sufficient. A workaround proposal would be equally appreciated. PaoloT 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mmaish Posted September 11, 2020 Share Posted September 11, 2020 I feel the same way. I need global layers to work on the magazines I create. In fact, every element producing its own layer on every page becomes a mess of layers. Good for single page designs, not good for multipage documents IMO. I'm not gonna use a workaround. This is the missing feature that's stopping me from adopting Affinity Publisher Krustysimplex 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could produce all one language versions by turning on/off in the master page and exporting... Or turn them on and off in the Master page's Edit Detached context menu and you can have a mix of items for one page and other pages would be just the English or French or Italian.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
