How avoid link files on Affinity Publisher?

[albertkinng]

I need to have all elements in the Affinity Publisher document. I share projects on different servers and locations and when one of the team opens a project and a window says" files are missing" the whole day is a mess. Is there a way to avoid this? Creating a project that stores all elements together will work better for us. Is there a way or a setting for it please share. Please don't explain why the file link is better or why it's designed that way. I understand this is not a flaw or a bad implementation. I just need to know how to manually create a document that doesn't use file links. Thanks for understanding.

I found this in the settings, but it seems to not be working well. Is this the only way?

Well, if you Embed them rather than Linking they will all be together. But, of course, your files will be huge.

If you're using iCloud as your cloud service, it should all work automatically.

Or if you're using Dropbox, and V2, and you Link the Dropbox service in your Affinity Preferences.

Or if you organize your files appropriately, it should be automatic. Appropriately means that you have your .afpub file in a directory, and in that same directory you have another directory that contains all your linked files. But there are mixed reports on that working.

Other than that, your colleagues can open the .afpub file, and choose the Resource Manager option when they get that prompt, and select one missing item and choose Relink. Everything in that same directory should be found.

Or you can use Packages (.afpackage files) rather than simple .afpub files. https://affinity.help/publisher2/en-US.lproj/pages/Publishing/creatingPackages.html
