Password Protected Publisher Files

[MaxClass]

iMac 27 inch Desktop User, a Mac user since 1985, and a Mac Programmer.  I use Publisher on a daily basis and it replaces any word processors of the past and I’ve have been an Affinity user since the early Betas of Designer.

One feature of Publisher that I find missing is the ability to Password protect Publisher files.

Providing such a feature would be greatly appreciated. Sort of a “For Your Eyes Only” feature, especially for working on books for publication during the development stage when collaborating with others and you don’t want the work disclosed ahead of time.

I produce documents meant for the recipient only and no one else and would like to Password protect them at the Publisher level.

This same feature could also be implemented in Designer and Photo as I imagine the file save routines are very much the same.

Thank you in advance and keep up the good work.

P.S. Looking forward to your implementation of “Footnotes” in Publisher.
