Unable to save a Book once created

[Helen Witty]

Hi

I'm stepping into new territory for me. Having created three files and included them as chapters in a newly created Book  (Publisher)  I can see no way to save the Book. The Save as Book isn't visible on my Save menu, nor is the ability to name the book.  Is this a bug or is there a setting I'm missing?

 

Update - I've suddenly hit upon how to do it. Hadn't appreciated there was a Book Submenu. Perhaps update the help screens accordingly?

It's already covered on the relevant Help page: https://affinity.help/publisher2/en-US.lproj/pages/Panels/booksPanel.html

Did you have a specific other page that you would suggest needs an update?

There really should be a File > Save Book command for discoverability and so that you can assign a keyboard shortcut to it. And there should be a File > Save All command that saves all open documents and Books at once. Maybe someday.

Thanks @walt.farrell

It is indeed on the Help page but my instinct was to go to the File menu - which includes things like New Book, and that's how I mis-read what was written on the Help page.

 @MikeTO has responded with a similar opinion to me - that it should be part of the File menu as well as the Book panel menu (which is fairly invisible unless you know where you need to look)

 

Thanks both for responding. Nice to know we are not alone out here.
