I'm struggling to find the missing help page...

I'm not sure about a help page but it is mentioned in https://affinity.serif.com/en-us/whats-new/ in the section named ‘Hide effects’ and ‘grayscale’ view mode options in Publisher and Designer

Apparently this missing page was intended

I'm struggling to find the missing help page here at my end would someone be able to provide the English equivalent of the missing German page just so I can be sure I'm looking for the correct one?

In the online Help, it's this page (English): https://affinity.help/publisher2/English.lproj/index.html?page=pages/GetStarted/view.html?title=Viewing
or this one (German): https://affinity.help/publisher2/de.lproj/index.html?page=pages/GetStarted/view.html?title=Die Ansicht

There seem to be several omissions on that page, including (I think) Outline (Wireframe) view mode, and Grayscale & Hide Effects.

With Publisher's UI set to German, it's here in the Help (which generates an error):

Thanks Walt it seems we only omitted this page with the Publisher help. I'll get this logged.

Please tag me using @ in your reply so I can be sure to respond ASAP.

Well I'd just like to say "Thank You" for creating the Draw Effects.  It's something I have really wanted for years.  I have made a shortcut of Shift Command E that toggles this on and off.  I expect to use this frequently.  Kudos to whomever added this!

The issue "View > View Mode >Hide effects inconsistency" (REF: AF-644) has been fixed by the developers in internal build "2.3.0.2083".
This fix should soon be available as a customer beta and is planned for inclusion in the next customer release.
Customer beta builds are announced here and you can participate by following these instructions.
If you still experience this problem once you are using that build version (or later) please reply to this thread including @Serif Info Bot to notify us.
