reminous Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 H there, I wish we could rename the artboards when doubling click over its name direct from the canvas instead depending on the layer panel to do so... It would be much more intuitive! Reminous Aammppaa, Lmpessoa, Frozen Death Knight and 4 others 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhiteX Posted March 6, 2020 Share Posted March 6, 2020 This feature request needs more attention! In most other design software that I use beside AD, I just double-click on the artboard names then I can rename them. Vry quick, very intuitive. When I get back to Affinity and want to do the same, nothing happens, then I remember, that's not a feature here.

euronesia Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 Agree, this is really simple feature request but somehow it would be really useful and will speed up the workflow.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Columbo Posted February 24, 2022 Share Posted February 24, 2022 +1 This looks technically feasible and would enhance user experience by a lot. Currently you have to click on the artboard on the canvas, then go to the layers list, double-click (or sometimes triple-click because click detection is a bit finicky in the side panels) the artboard's name, wait for the text input to open, enter the new name, press enter, wait for a black flash on the layers panel and continue with the next artboard. It can become tiresome on large documents. Whereas on-canvas renaming would be as easy as double-clicking the artboard's name, entering the new one and you're done.

Catshill Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Am I missing something? I rename the artboard by clicking its name on the canvas and entering it. I don’t touch the layer panel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange in Mac version doesn't work like that, we have to rename it in layers panel. I wasn't expecting that there will be feature difference between Windows & Mac version... reminds me of Microsoft Office... Any updates on that @Affinity team?

Catshill Posted February 27, 2022 Share Posted February 27, 2022 Terribly sorry folks. I've just tried it and indeed, the only way to rename the artboard is via the layers panel. I must have dreamt it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
