How to replace multiple layers at once in "Affinity Photo" ?

[Christoph Werner]

Is there a way to replace multiple selected layers at once?

I've several "image" layers that include the same content. There is a button called "Replace image" to replace one single image based layer.

But is there a way to replace multiple selected layers with new content at once, too?

Thank you
Chris

If the images are inside a picture frame you can select the picture frames and hit the Replace button. If the images are not in a picture frame you can only replace them one by one or (if the the images are linked) rename the old image and give the new image the filename the old one had before.

What?! Sounds crazy, but works.
Never thought I can do this with the gradient tool (I come from Photoshop).

Thank you a lot!
