Hi all,

In-brief:

  • Suggestion to have a link-able Master Style File that contains:
    • Text Styles data
    • Colour Palettes data
    • Etc.

In Detail:

  • Similar to a Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) for websites, the Master Style File contains Text Styles and Colour Palettes can be referenced by multiple Affinity documents with ease.
  • Affinity documents can link to a Master Style File. Doing so would load the Text Styles and Colour Palettes into document.
  • Any changes to the Master Style File would cascade into the linked files once they open up in an Affinity program.
  • The Master Style File can reside in a central location (company file server/cloud/drive/etc.)

Benefits:

  • Centralized Styles that can be quickly imported and updated. This would be handy to ensure all documents are up-to-date with an organization's text and colour styles.
  • Easy to port text styles and colour styles.

Issues:

  • How the Master Style File could be edited or modified (by whom, how, when?)
  • Can Affinity show an alert to a user notifying them that the Master Style File has been updated (and whether to accept those changes into their document?)
    • Similar to when a linked Graphic has been updated.

Thoughts and opinions please. Not sure if this has been discussed before.
