Hi, thanks for this update and the footnote feature. Thats great.... But am I missing something or is there still no way to easily build multi-spread documents à la InDesign ? If not, is it in the pipeline ? If yes, you have my money.

Greetings.

It is not there today. You can only have 1- or 2-page spreads.

And Serif generally does not comment on what's "in the pipeline".

My best workaround so far is using an artboard based layout.
It's actually pretty easy:

  • start with a simple blank 1-page Publisher document and convert it to artboards via Designer persona
  • continue in the Publisher persona as usual, only switching to Designer if you need to add more artboards
  • if you need to export full spreads rather than individual pages, add an extra blank "spread artboard" 

More on that here: 

… ff.

From my (admittedly only brief) test, artboard based spreads can be combined with regular Publisher documents via the Books feature. Whether it actually works as expected, not sure: 

MacBookAir 15": MacOS Sonoma > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // MacBookPro 15" mid-2012: MacOS El Capitan > Affinity v1 / MacOS Catalina > Affinity v1, v2, v2 beta // iPad 8th: iPadOS 18 > Affinity v2

You can create the document via File > New if you do that from the Designer Persona. Specify 1 page, and do not specify Default Master, and then you can specify Create Artboard as part of the document when creating the document.

This is one of the most essential features, along with global layers and foot/end note support. I guess we got one out of three?

More essential than text boxes, rectangles and lines?
