No help available for designer or photo persona when using publisher

[CM0]

The Help (F1) is only available for Publisher.  There should be an option to view the designer and photo help when using those personas within Publisher.

I agree, though I'm not sure if this counts as a Bug or something for a Feature Request. I know that I've seen it mentioned at least once before.

As a workaround, you can view the Help online at https://affinity.help in your web browser, if you're online. Or, of course, you can open Designer or Photo and open the Help from there if you're not online.

Unfortunately the workaround completely defeats the purpose for which I'm using publisher.

I'm using it exclusively for studio link only as a means to achieve much better integration between designer and photo.  I'm using publisher so I don't have to open those other apps.

Doesn't matter to me whether addressed as bug or feature.

I would also classify it as a feature request. And I can understand that accessing external help files disrupts the workflow.

As a quick solution, I would suggest that you put shortcuts to the help files on the desktop or the quick launch bar.
The help files can be found in the programme directory.

For example: C:\Program Files\Affinity\Photo\PhotoHelp\Contents\Resources\en.lproj
Create a shortcut for the index.html and drag it to the quick launch bar.

This gives you quick access to the help

And because I like to have it in order, I quickly created two symbol files.
