Affinity Publisher: Add Column Span under Text Styles > Paragraph > Flow Options

[davidagnome]

It's awesome to automatically flow content to the next column, frame, even/odd page, etc.

Can Serif add column span (esp. a span all columns on a page) to Affinity Publisher?

This would help improve layouts with sophisticated headers.

Span and split.

Yes please. Span and split columns, overriding the parent columns. Manually placing them is so 1990s.

There are about 2.5 years since version 2.0. I hope v. 2.5 will be last of it. I am waiting 3.0 very soon with these features in Publisher:

1. Acrobat's Print Production tools;
2. span/split columns;
3. mulipage tables span;
4. table notes;
5. GREP styles;
6. decorations from paragraph styles to be added to character styles;
7. cleaning the mess of applying colors to objects (you have to open other panels to apply colors to objects instead from swatches panel only);
8. more IDML features;
9. converting text => table and vice versa;
10. object styles (like InDesign).
