Domske Posted February 14 Share Posted February 14 It would be great if you include templates like letters, brochure, books and other basic stuff. Currently the templates section is empty. In all programs of the suit (Photo, Designer, Publisher). The samples are interessting but why not adding templates? So that the user can get started quickly. For example creating a brochure in Publisher. A 2x DIN A4 with each 3 sections (trifolds) which each section has its order. It would be great to have such templates. Maybe with different designs. debraspicher and PaoloT 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domske Posted February 14 Author Share Posted February 14 I mean official built-in default templates. I know search engines. This is just a feedback, a suggestion to include such basic templates into the program. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is just a feedback, a suggestion to include such basic templates into the program. I understood what you meant personally. I think it's a great suggestion. I wouldn't use preloaded ones terribly much, but I use many of my own created templates and it's very important to be able to "just start" when the moment strikes. If they do preload some templates, they should be very good templates. Of such quality that it would be a good model for any user to begin to figure out the program. Imo, that should be the ultimate goal. We will all end up adjusting templates as we need anyway, but a "place to start" when first learning would make optimal use for most new users.

You can already open the examples, tweak them according to your needs and save them as templates.

Domske Posted February 15 Author Share Posted February 15 Thanks debraspicher. Yes, that's a point. The preset templates should be very simple. Honestly, I'd rather create my own templates. I like figuring it out and tweaking it perfectly to keep it simple and effective to my needs. On the other hand, this takes a lot of time and I would like to know what best practices apply specifically to this program and how the creators would do it. Find ideas, etc. Like the Samples, the Templates could be optionally downloaded. It's like the formats under the New section. Just with more preset settings, elements and maybe designs. Idk. I just looked at the template tab to create a tri-fold brochure with it's confusing order. ^^ I'm almost done and have ended up creating 1/3 rectangles on two A4 sheets in the order 5-6-1, 2-3-4. So do whatever you want with this suggestion. It's ok if Serif don't want it. Just consider. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe with different designs. Even from this, it is clear that the set of "representative" templates will be very wide and will not satisfy the needs of all users anyway. This could be a space for custom templates in the Resources forum, such as here: Quote Affinity Store (MSI/EXE): Affinity Suite (ADe, APh, APu) 2.4.0.2301 Dell OptiPlex 7060, i5-8500 3.00 GHz, 16 GB, Intel UHD Graphics 630, Dell P2417H 1920 x 1080, Windows 11 Pro, Version 23H2, Build 22631.3155.
