Please can we have a separate panel for the document colour panel and the swatches panel. Using colours in Affinity Publisher is a nightmare!

How do you get a spot colour from the swatches book to your document panel without needlessly applying the colour to an element on the canvas first, then having to click back to your document panel (that you have to add manually) and then clicking 'add colour to palette'. As an aside in 1.8.4 on MacOS Add global colour to palette doesn't work so I have to jump through the hoops above then change it to global colour.

Thats 6 clicks to add one single global colour to the document palette. Not including setting up the document palette in the first place and undoing the colour change to the element on the canvas just to help get the colour from one panel to the next. Having the panels all hidden behind a drop down menu is not efficient at all.

We need panels side by side so we can simply drag and drop swatches between the colour books to the document panel.

Ideally it would be beneficial if we could (if we wanted to) have all the colour books in their own panel all out at the same time.

I have linked a YouTube video below to show just how poor the implementation is. This doesn't cover getting a colour from a colour book into the document palette but it shows getting 5 colours from a colour strip imported into Publisher. It takes him 3 minutes (with the video sped up!!!) to add 5 colours to the document panel!
