mopperle Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 I'm currently working on a Photo Book. I have 1 master page with basic settings. While filling the book with content, I realized that for many pages I use the same layout with picture frame and text frames. Is there a way to create add. master pages directly from such pages? Checked the help system, menu and context menu for an entry, but couldnt find anything. Quote Regards, Otto Affinity Suite v2.5.x - Windows 11 Pro
Circulus Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 You want to create a duplicate from the existing masterpage? Or You want to create a masterpage derived from a regular page?

Alfred Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 If you already have the desired layout on a regular page, couldn’t you simply copy the objects, create a new (blank) master page and then paste the copied content onto it? mopperle and Komatös 1 1 Quote Alfred Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for Windows • Windows 10 Home/Pro Affinity Designer/Photo/Publisher 2 for iPad • iPadOS 17.5.1 (iPad 7th gen)
Circulus Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 Or easier way is to add the new empty mp to the regular page>edit linked>drag the items into the mp layer>finish and apply this mp to the pages you want it applied to.

Thanks to both of you, this is what I already did. Thought that there might be an option like right click on the regular page and choose from the context menu something like "create master page from this page".

You'll need to either create a replica manually from scratch, or copy elements from the page that will serve as a template, as suggested by @Return and @alfred. Well, it's too bad that there is no such option😞 mopperle and Alfred 1 1 Quote

Circulus Posted April 11, 2024 Posted April 11, 2024 If only a new mp is created if one duplicates the mp in the layerspanel on a regular page.
