I can't seem to find out how to change my document settings and make them my DEFAULT settings.  I want to maintain INCHES and not pixels and also page layout.  Help please....tired of changing it every time I create something.  Thanks

Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

The defaults for new documents are determined by which Preset you select. So, after File > New, pick a Preset that is close to what you want, and make further adjustments in the dialog. Then before clicking Create, click on the + icon at the top of the dialog, next to the word Custom:

That will save your layout in the sections of the Presets labeled My Presets. Just use that Preset in the future.

Note that setting Inches like that will only affect the creation of new documents. If you open an existing non-native file (not .afphoto, .afdesign, or .afpub) such as JPG, TIFF, PNG, SVG, etc. the units will be px. There is no setting to make them Inches.
