Welcome to the Serif Affinity forums.

Whether they are available, and how you would "enable" them would depend on what fonts you're using. First, the font would need to have them. Next, how you would use or enable them depends on how the font is designed.

Sometimes, if the font supports the appropriate OpenType options, they might be enabled via the Typography section of the Character panel (or a Character Text Style), either via the Swash button, or the "..." to show more typography options:

But sometimes, they might only be available via the Glyph Browser.

Excessive use of confusing blank space is a known issue when it comes to OpenType features.
