pruus Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Right now, you can delete, duplicate pages on the left of Affinity Publisher. I would like to have the oppertunity to HIDE or SHOW pages. So you can make a document and hide pages. This will make my workflow easier. Just one document for two versions. I can't see if this is allready possible. I haven't found it. When you pick an page in the left window. Then click on the right button of the mouse, now you can "hide" a page. The page will be grayed out. Like in example above. If you click right on a allready hidden page, you can select "show". That is the original state. Please!!!!

MikeTO Posted July 2, 2021 Share Posted July 2, 2021 My two cents: this is more complicated than it appears. Let's say you have 3 pages with linked text frames, pages numbered 1, 2, and 3. And on page 4 you have an index that includes markers for pages 1, 2, and 3. You hide page 2. The text in the story that would have appeared on page 2 would be hidden and not re-flow to page 3. Page 3 would be renumbered to page 2. This is logical but what if you then edit page 1, adding a paragraph and pushing the last paragraph on that page to page 2. And that might push a paragraph of hidden text from 2 to 3. It's logical but weird. The index markers for page 2 would need to be hidden in the index and the markers for page 3 would need to be updated to page 2. If you were using facing pages and pages 2-3 were a spread but you hid page 2 which changed page 3 from a right to left page, how would publisher handle it? What if you were using numbered paragraphs and started numbering on page 1 and continued through 2 and 3, would the paragraphs that fell on page 2 not be counted and numbering would resume on page 3? Probably. Worst case scenario - hiding a page could also cause the text composition of subsequent pages to change if you're using something like numbered paragraphs. This is an edge case but it could happen. And in a future world where we have cross references, if page 3 has a cross ref to page 2, the field couldn't display a 2 now and would have to display # because the cross ref was invalid.
