I think a better question is: Will Photo and Designer get an "Edit in Publisher" menu item?

Other than saving and closing the file then re-opening it manually, agreed. I pointed out a few times already that those are currently missing.

Of course, that is what many users already thought and what Patrick Connor said, but “they will not have the full functionality of the other applications and their additional persona”.

I don't know, but it seems odd to me that they aren't there in the beta, certainly for Designer. We still need a page selector in both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer so multipage documents are managable in the other two as round tripping may add further pages. fde101 and KipV 2 Patrick Connor Serif Europe Ltd Latest V2 releases on each platform Help make our apps better by joining our beta program!

We still need a page selector in both Affinity Photo and Affinity Designer so multipage documents are managable in the other two as round tripping may add further pages. Thanks. I was sort of hoping that an "Edit in Photo" for a multi-page document would end up with Photo showing multiple Artboards (much as one gets when opening all pages of a PDF in Photo. As it is, though, Photo just sees the current page when "Edit in Photo" is selected. Which is OK, I suppose. Or would be if there was an easy back to Publisher without having to save the document. (And having to save seems especially odd given that one might have started with a new/unnamed document in Publisher, and might not want it saved yet.) -- Walt Designer, Photo, and Publisher V1 and V2 at latest retail and beta releases PC: Desktop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 64GB memory, AMD Ryzen 9 5900 12-Core @ 3.00 GHz, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Laptop: Windows 11 Pro 23H2, 32GB memory, Intel Core i7-10750H @ 2.60GHz, Intel UHD Graphics Comet Lake GT2 and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3070 Laptop GPU.

Spread-based documents will not support artboards and artboard-based documents will not support multiple pages. The impression I got, though not really spelled out, was that Photo will only create artboard-based documents, Publisher will only create spread-based documents, and Designer will have the option of creating either one. I could be mistaken, but that is how I interpreted what was being said by the Serif team early on. walt.farrell 1
Mark Oehlschlager Posted May 24, 2019 Posted May 24, 2019 The artboard/page would be the logical common compositional unit. Spreads in Publisher should simply be thought of as grouped artboards/pages. If spreads are brought into either Designer or Photo, perhaps there could be an option to bring them in as either grouped or individual artboards/pages. The concept of grouped artboard/pages is also the solution to building foldout pages for books and magazines in Publisher. SillyWalk 1
