How do I remove a page in my document? How do I reorder the pages?

[loonlaugh]

Likely a basic question, but I'm having difficulty finding the answers online. How do I remove a page/spread in my multipage document? How do I reorder them? I am using the Windows - Version 1.10.5 of Affinity Designer. I am starting from a template, but don't need all of the pages. I can clear all the art from a page but can't figure out how to remove/delete the page nor how to reorder the pages. All the help articles direct me to "Pages" in the "Studio View" in the "View" tab - but my version doesn't have the "Pages" option. There isn't anything appropriate under "Document Setup" nor "Spread Setup."

HELP! I feel like this should be extremely straightforward, but I spent hours on this yesterday and ended up doing a work around after I PDFed it.

Hi LoonLaugh,

It sounds like you have purchased Affinity Designer when you were really looking for Affinity Publisher if you email Affinityreturns(at)serif.com they should be able to sort this out for you

Thanks

@Callum wouldn't this cause a quite different result if AD opens APUB templates – and possibly just the wrong online Help got chosen by the OP?

To me AD opens only 1 page of an .afpub (4 single pages, no master) –> AD displays page 2* only and no pages or artboards in its Layers panel.
* (why #2 while the .afpub got saved with page 1 selected?)

To navigate between pages in Designer, you need to use the Navigation field on the lower left of the screen, next to the Status Bar.

The OP did say they are using Designer, and if View > Studio doesn't have an entry for Pages then it does seem like they have the wrong application. That may sometimes happen with users who are trying for the Affinity equivalend of inDesign, which is Publisher, not Designer.

Thank you for this hint to the navigation buttons in the window corner, essential in this situation without pages panel / artboard layers. So, it is not possible to delete or rearrange in AD pages of an opened .afpub, – correct? (which would make sense, I just want to know if I oversee more, because APub is less limiting when opening .afdesign).

By the way: Do you know of an area in any of the 3 Help(s) concerning such differences/specialities when handling the 3 Affinity file types in the other apps?

Correct.

No, I don't.
