riball Posted October 22, 2020 Posted October 22, 2020 Is there an easy way to move text or picture frames between pages of the same document? You can, of course, copy and paste, but with Publisher you could drag a frame onto the 'pages' side panel to move it or put it on the background outside the page boundaries which was then visible with each page. I have tried both these and they do not appear to work in Affinity. Possible functionality to add?? Quote

To my knowledge you could never do that with Affinity Publisher. I can drag items from one page in a Publisher document to another page with ease.

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

Hi Riball, If you enable master view by hitting the button found towards the bottom left of your app (see attached) you can view all of your pages side by side allowing you to drag content between them. Thanks C Quote Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

All that does for me is switch to showing the Master Page(s) in the workspace, rather than the Document Page(s).

The best I can suggest is to reduce the view to a very small percentage (depends on your screen size, I went down to around 6.5%) so you can see all the pages, and then drag items on and off the pages, using the grey background as a pasteboard: Screen Recording 2020-10-23 at 15.54.48.mov Hope this helps, H Quote Affinity Photo 2.6.3, Affinity Designer 2.6.3 Affinity Publisher 2.6.3, Mac OSX 15.5, 2018 MacBook Pro 15" Intel.
PaulEC Posted October 23, 2020 Posted October 23, 2020 An alternative would be to save the text or image as an asset then you can just drag it onto another page.
