My Pasteboard problems

[joolstacho]

As a (very) longtime AI (and CS suite) user, I think I'm going to LOVE Affinity!

BUT...

What's the deal with the pasteboard? I'm used to being able to keep items on the pasteboard for moving them in and out of the page as I design.

But when I move items off the page onto the pasteboard, they disappear, -only visible where they overlap the page area.

I'm sure this is a VERY simple thing, but I've searched, and poked around prefs and page setup and haven't been able to find how to get a true pasteboard like AI, CDR, or INDD.

Forgive me.

Hi joolstacho,
Welcome to Affinity Forums
Go to menu View ▸ View Mode and untick Clip to Canvas.

Thanks mate, I was looking in doc setup, prefs etc - all the wrong places.

Now, I'd better start working the learning curve!

Cheers.

Where is this feature in Photo?

Hi spidermurph,
Affinity Photo doesn't have this feature. It's mostly used to edit photos, not for composing layouts/design. Feel free to request it in the respective thread if you find it useful.
