Hello, I just switched from the Adobe CC to Affinity and i run into a problem withing Affinity Publisher. In InDesign I'm used to making a mockup of my document using wireframes, and then filling it with text and picures. When i wanted to do the same thing within Publisher, I can't type in a picture frame. I seem to have to make a seperate textframe for typing.

Can an empty pictureframe be used as a placeholder before filling the document with text and pictures? Or is it just an empty placeholder for pictures?

Welcome to the Affinity forums @Christian_F_V!

A picture frame is a placeholder meant for a picture, whereas the other geometric shapes can be converted by just clicking on them with the Frame Text Tool. But you can easily convert a picture frame to a text frame via menu Layer >> Convert to Text Frame. To make this command more easier, make keyboard shortcut for it.
