I don't think we can. You would need to open the document in Photo and do it there. This is one advantage of Affinity's only one actual format for all three applications, a file extension of .afdesign can be opened in Photo and edited in that and then saved and it will still be an .afdesign file.

Thanks! I have studio, so that will work.

On a side-note: It's a basic operation that should be available in all 3 in my opinion.

Duplicate + Group + Rasterize

Different to AD/APub flattening is basic in APhoto where you work more with pixel layers + don't create several pages within one document.
