I’m making a graphic novel which includes double page spreads, so I’m using Publishers facing pages option. All pages are finished Affinity Designer documents which all have bleeds on all sides. I’m wondering what to do with the bleed of two individual pages that meet in the middle of the facing pages. They don’t seem to be cut off automatically but spill over to the other page. 
Should I use picture frame and put the affinity file inside in order to do it right?

Hope I could make myself clear.

I am going to make a few assumptions.

You want the Designer documents's bleed to be the bleed on the Publisher pages. The Documents's and Pages's dimensions are the same. The bleed is the same.

The bleed is 1/8 (0.125) inches.

The pages are 8 1/2 by 11 inches.

The Designer document should be (1/8 + 8 1/2 + 1/8 = ) 8 3/4 by (1/8 + 11 + 1/8 = ) 11 1/4 inches with no bleed.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.6.0 | Affinity Photo 2.6.0 | Affinity Publisher 2.6.0 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

@Lagarto Got ya. Thanks for the clarification about the inner bleeds. The bleeds bug probably doesn't affect me as my Designer document size has the bleed area included. And I'm not using artboards 🤷‍♂️ since I have only found out about them recently. Every page is a separate Designer document. Maybe not the smartest choice...

And as in our other thread about Publisher's passthrough weirdness, I'm still trying to figure out a way for Publisher to passthrough my color separation correctly anyway 🙄

I found another guy having the same issue in 2019. This result is exactly what I'm trying to avoid in advance

But I guess I first wait for a response from the printer before go down another rabbit hole 🙂
