migo33 Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 Hi I am building a brand identity and using all three apps. Is it possible to link/ share a single colour palette across all Affinity docs that use the same swatch palette? Thanks Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walt.farrell Posted September 15, 2021 Share Posted September 15, 2021 What OS do you use? If MacOS, you can create a a System palette that all three applications can use. However, you can't use Global colors unless you use a Document palette, so if you want Global colors a System palette won't work.

You can then import it into any documents you want. Quote Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.2 Affinity Designer 2.3.1 | Affinity Photo 2.3.1 | Affinity Publisher 2.3.1 | Beta versions as they appear. I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
migo33 Posted September 15, 2021 Author Share Posted September 15, 2021 Thanks. I created a document palette but if I make a change to a global colour in one application I don't think it will override the palette in another application or another file within the same application (Publisher for instance). Let's say I have 20 brochures and I want to make a global colour change, will I need to manually change the colour on each file? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
