Affinity doesn't have a separation feature, thus there are only workarounds yet.

• Video tutorial: Extracting RGB, CMYK and LAB Into Separate Layers Using Channels (in Affinity Photo)

@NotMyFault created a set of Adjustments to separate CMYK as layer settings:

@aepasek made a video demonstrating a separation process for RISO print (which uses Spot Colours, like your screenprint possibly):

• If you want to print or export Selected Layers only you can set their layer visibility accordingly.
In AD and APh you have alternatively the Export persona to choose output layers and elements.

Special interest into procedural texture filter, edit alpha channel, RGB/16 and RGB/32 color formats, stacking, finding root causes for misbehaving files, finding creative solutions for unsolvable tasks, finding bugs in Apps.
