AP: Text Frame 'Symbol' feature for auto-updating text 'blocks'


Recommended Posts

Similar to the (well hidden) 'Place and Link' feature in InDesign.

 

It would be great if there was a feature for 'linked' or automatically updating repeating 'blocks' of text. 

 

It should in the interface somehow be visible (dashed outline?) that these text frames /  blocks are smart/linked. If they are converted to such a 'text frame instance' and copied, they stay linked as 'instances' instead of detached copies. So changes to one apply to all later copies. 

 

Useful for repeating texts & could be a great productivity enhancement feature

If there were such a feature as linked auto updating text then yes this would be useful. As there is no such ability in Publisher, Designer, or Photo that would explain why it is missing.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.5 | Affinity Photo 2.5.5 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.5 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.
