How do I "add space" in the middle of an affinity document

[redcram]

I am working on an affinity document that I am exporting to a PSD file for a developer to make a website.  After creating the affinity file, we've realized that we want to add an additional section about half way down the document.  Please see my attachment-- we want the new section in between the light grey and dark grey backgrounds...

 

I realize that to create space half way down, I could copy and past things and manually move them down, but I am wondering if there is some tool or trick to creating more blank document space in the middle of the page to save time/ make this process easy.

 

Thanks!

Hi redcram,

Welcome to Affinity Forums :)

This depends a little on how you have structured/organised your layers but usually you can simply drag a selection marquee around the grey background area to select all the objects of that section (using the Move Tool), then pressing and holding ⇧ (shift) (to constrain the movement vertically) drag them all down.

Thank you, I used the marquee selection tool as you suggested, but as I pressed shift and dragged downward... nothing moved.  Please see screen shot.  What do you recommend? Thanks again for your help

Hi redcram,

Sorry, I should have been more clear. I meant using the Move Tool to draw a selection around the objects. Post updated to reflect this.
