Where has the Convert icc profile option gone? Affinity Photo>Preferences>Color,

[Affinity-Inspiration]

To convert the color space of file to be opened to the current working space:

Prior to opening the file, from Affinity Photo>Preferences>Color, check the Convert opened files to working space option.

Options exist to warn that a file's working space will be converted, or that an unprofiled file will be assigned the current working space's profile.

It would have been a good idea for you to have made it clear that your question is contained in the thread title and that your original post is simply quoting from the ‘Colour management’ Help topic.

Affinity Photo 2 Help: Colour management

Having said that, the ICC profile option is in the same place in version 2 as in version 1:

From the Document menu, select Convert Format / ICC Profile.

Ok. Let me rephrase this.

The Help  document found online states:

Prior to opening the file, from Affinity Photo>Preferences>Color, check the Convert opened files to working space option.

 

What I'm  looking for is  

Affinity Photo>Preferences>Colour

then

Convert opened files to working space

What I need to be able to do is open or load a new image and have the colour profile already set. 
I need to be able to set the working space prior to loading an image.

a default.

However. Preferences>Colour doesn't seem to exist.

It is either Preferences or Settings, depending on the release of Photo, and the OS you're using, which you haven't described.. And, of course, you haven't told us which version of the Help you're looking at, either.

So, I started here. Whatever version of help this is.

https://affinity.help/photo/en-US.lproj/index.html?page=pages/Clr/ClrProfiles.html&title=Color management
 

and found the instructions there.

I'm on the M2Mac Mini. Affinity release 2.4 - the latest.

Basically, I'm looking at how to change the icc profile of an imported image.

That's for V1 of Photo. You probably got there via a Google (or other web) search, which you did not qualify enough. Try adding site:affinity.help/photo2 as one of your search terms. Or just start at https://affinity.help and go from there.

Imported (as in File > Place, or copy/paste, or drag/drop onto an existing document) or Opened?

One thing that started me on this, I think if I remember correctly, is on export I looked at using a different icc profile, but the option to select another profile is greyed out.

I’m not at my desk right now so can’t do a screenshot.

That will probably depend in large part on your Export format and other settings, and is different from the question you've asked in this topic.

These are three different situations, right? Each of them has a dialog window of its own that opens with a different menu command.

If the export profile option does not show an entry (blank, 'grayed-out') you may click to open its menu or possibly need to make a choice for a colour space first.

Or just put a 2 after photo in the folder path:
