angelhdz12 Posted October 2, 2018 Posted October 2, 2018 Adding a "Update" button so the embedded document updates. I use Photo the most, because I can work both with vectors and rastered images and use all the pixel editing tools, also Photo has Live Filters. But, when I want to mount everything in artboards in Designer, and I embed my assets, they don't auto-update, or at least there is no update button. Having to click on Replace Document, find the document, click ok, in order to update changes is not practical. Auto-update would be even better but it's optional. Thank you. hokic and Cuando 2 Quote
PyrosBrother Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Please add this feature soon... I hope that my previous created files could be update with this new feature without having to place again all embedded files... angelhdz12 1 Quote
jarcon Posted November 25, 2019 Posted November 25, 2019 I tough I was missing something, but it seems to be an improvement opportunity for the Affinity Suite. This option has been included on Affinity Publisher (as a linking option) and it will be awesome to have it in the rest of the programs. Steffenvy, angelhdz12 and Cuando 3 Quote
Johannes M Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Adding the suggested improvement, to update bitmaps in Designer would be great. Linking in Publisher cannot practically replace updating in Designer. In Designer I am placing bitmaps behind digits: that works fine (except for the updating option) But when doing this in Publisher: First adding the designer picture with the digits then trying to place images behind the digits, there are no more separated digits, just one picture and the bitmaps will be placed after the complete designer picture, the separated digits don't exist as digits anymore... angelhdz12 1 Quote
Jhonatan S Posted July 21, 2020 Posted July 21, 2020 +1 I have to agree, an update Button, or a Auto-update for embedded files on affinity / Designer and Photo would be really great workflow, I'm dealing with social media pages where I need to use different Templates, ex: same images and logos to export for web sites / instagram / facebook, but the main situation is, when I need to replace some images from the embed documents template to change in all documents like syncronized I'm using symbols at this point but of course a way to update the embed document would be very awesome. if is not possible to sync, A button just to update would be helpful hey @MattP see if this is possible for the next updates 2989 and MattP 2 Quote Learn more: 🔴Youtube: Vectorize with JhonFollow me: 📷 Instagram | Twitter | 📘 FacebookFree Affinity Assets: https://gumroad.com/jhonsilva

This means you can have linked files that are automatically updated if they are modified outside. This is different from updating embedded files but in effect should work similar to what you are asking for. d. Quote Affinity Suite on Windows (V2) and iPad (V2). Beta testing when available.

Konspaul Posted September 14, 2024 Posted September 14, 2024 Have you found a way to auto-update an embedded document internally? My project: Doc A has artboard 1 and artboard 2. I embed Doc A inside the Doc A and place artboard 1 over artboard 2. When I do change in artboard 1 I like to see them in artboard 2 automatically. At the moment, I have to first save the file Doc A then select the embedded Doc A and replace it with the just saved Doc A to see my changes. Unfortunately, the UPDATE button on resource manager is grayed out. Quote

krzemian Posted January 23 Posted January 23 @walt.farrell is there now a way to auto-update modified linked files? I've just did some testing and they still seem to require the Update button to be clicked manually Quote

krzemian Posted January 24 Posted January 24 Thanks! If anyone wondered, these settings are all available in Affinity Photo, too. However, there is a bug with file resizing if the files have different dimensions (it keeps making the relinked files smaller and smaller) Quote
