Lack of Styles & Palettes for V2 Programs

[Realto]

Greetings!

I'm wondering about the lack of any default styles and/or palettes for either Designer or Photo v2? Should I export them from v1 or are there downloadable versions available? It would seem like an opportunity to leverage v2 features is being missed here. Just to be clear, this isn't intended as a complaint: I'm happy with what I've seen so far, just want to take my work to the next level.

Also, there are no Templates in the Account section. Samples, yes, but no Templates.

Thanks in advance,
Paul

There are certainly default Styles (Styles panel), though different from the V1 default Styles, and default Palettes (Swatches panel). If yours are completely empty you may need to Reset the application. To do that, make sure none of the V2 applications are running, then start one of them while pressing/holding the Ctrl key. When you get the Clear User Data dialog (which may require also clicking the application icon on the Windows Taskbar) release Ctrl. Then check the items you need to Reset (e.g., Styles), and click the Reset button.

There are only Templates if you have installed some from the Affinity Store, or configured your own Templates folders that contain templates. (See the button just above "Show on startup" to configure a Templates folder.
