Hi,

is it, by any chance, possible Affinity Spotlight to become a monthly PDF magazine? Something like Adobe has Creative Pro (ex. InDesign Magazine)?

Actually, that's how Spotlight started, a pdf type of magazine one could download. Serif published two magazines before the switched to the current model.

Objectively, the current model may be better but for some reason I also prefer to look forward to something that's released periodically.

Let's update this thread for 2024. 

1) Are there any good new magazine templates for Publisher

2) Has perchance the template Spotlight that was released for version 1 been updated? The original came as spotlight-mag-afpub-workbook-resources which I found to be a god sent in getting me started. 

Thanks all. 

Currently on version  2.5 and lovin it.

That was provided to customers who purchased the Affinity Publisher Workbook, which is no longer published. As far as I know there were no updates to the digital resources used in that Workbook, nor the resources used in the corresponding Photo and Designer Workbooks, all of which were published only for V1.

Right! I forgot that it was part of my purchase of Affinity Publisher Workbook. What a great move on my part to have made the purchase. An invaluable resource. 

Thanks Walt.
