I have a very basic question that I've been struggling with for an hour. I am working on a Windows 10 desktop PC.

I want to put a gradient fill into text. When I click the fill icon, the context toolbar does not open. I can't figure out where to find it. This has to be simple! Please help.

Thanks.

Yes, it was. I started a new document, created a square, and clicked the gradient tool. Nothing happened. Then I dragged the cursor across the square and there was the gradient! I never saw in the help file that this was the way to actually create a gradient. I'm still not getting the gradient context dialog box, but if I click the gradient points, I can change their colors.

Most programs I've used have a gradient tool available before I click and drag. Is there another way to do it in Affinity Design that I'm missing?

Thanks.

Hi MarcySB,
No, I've recorded it myself to help you out but you can find plenty of video tutorials covering almost all app's funcionality on this thread: Official Affinity Designer Video Tutorials. The Affinity Spotlight website also has a learning section whit tutorials you may want to take a look. If you still have trouble with something else just ask in the forums. There's always someone willing to help :)
