Moving frames between pages

[riball]

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??

What do you mean you could drag a frame onto the 'pages' side panel in Publisher? 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.

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

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

You can drag whole pages around the Pages panel to re-order them, but AFAIK you can't drag individual content items between pages in the Pages panel, as it appears the OP requested.

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:

Hope this helps,

An alternative would be to save the text or image as an asset then you can just drag it onto another page.
