Application Pallet Not Shared - iPad

[dcgall]

Maybe I’m misunderstanding “Application Pallet”, but I’ve created one in a design but when I am in another design, I see the pallet, but it’s empty. Is there something more to do, or is this a bug. I’m on the latest version of iPad. Thanks

A palette starts out empty.

Did you add any colors to your new palette?

If I create an Application Palette in Designer on iPad, and add some colors to it, the palette and its colors are available in other documents.

I see what was going wrong. With my app palette active, I was tapping “Add Global Color’ and it would swap my palettes.  
Is there a way to have Global colors in an App Palette?

No. Global colors are supported only in Document palettes, not in Application palettes.

You could create a Document palette, add your Global colors, and export that palette. Then you could import it into other documents as a Document palette. Or you could embed it in a template document, and start future documents using that template so they would have the palette available automatically.

Note, though, that all the different documents' Document palettes are separate, and if you change the Global color in one it won't affect the other documents.
