The area to the right and left of the page is available for that purpose, if you disable View > View Mode > Clip to Canvas.

sc300 Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 I've looked through the Affinity Publisher V2 tech specs but saw no mention of a slug area, nor on the preview of the 'New Document' window. I'm losing heart that this fundamental feature will ever be included. Have I missed something? Dazmondo77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PilotBob Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Adding my name to the request list. Slugs are nearly a mandatory item for advertising art. Dazmondo77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaasSoCal Posted July 10 Share Posted July 10 Yep, add me to the list as well - was hoping to see this in the v.2 update. Dazmondo77 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tom_tm Posted August 23 Share Posted August 23 Hi, I'm new to this forum. This 'slug' area has been confusing me too, but as far as I can tell, and correct me if I'm mistaken, but Publisher already creates a slug area, even though its width cannot be predefined. At least I can see one in the exported document. Or perhaps the feature was added in V.2? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your various shown print marks were available since V1, while on export any user object gets hidden outside the bleed and text seems to get exported but masked by a cropping rectangle.

When inserting the PDF in an Indesign publication, options allow only showing the art, or the bleed, or the whole PDF including the slug. I use slugs to identify the art, and occasionally to include specific art instructions. Bob K Dazmondo77 and sc300 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same display options exist if you place your PDF in Affinity, see the "Page box" menu. – This is regardless of the missing ability to get custom objects in the slug area exported unmasked in Affinity.
