Master page details changed on deleting a single page.

[John Kay]

I have created a side fold A5 booklet for printing on an A4 sheet. I deleted a single page using the dustbin icon at the top of the pages display. This completely messed up the other pages by giving the wrong master page details to the following sheets. The only way to avoid this is to delete two pages at a time, a difficult procedure.

When I do this in PagePlus the adjustment is made automatically.

Is it perhaps possible to include this useful feature into Affinity Publisher?

I agree, it would be nice if there was a way to delete a single page in a facing pages spread without throwing all the subsequent pages off.

The way Affinity Publisher currently works, for books and similar documents with facing pages, I’ve found it’s usually best to flow text from page to page — that way, text can be added or deleted rather than pages.

Another way would be to have the text frames of the book placed on its master pages.
