I am really impressed with all the Affinity products and after completing some big projects in Publisher I have reduced my Adobe subscription to just Acrobat, a real vote of confidence in you. Here are two things that would make my life easier.

First and really important; an option to place pdf files with embedded fonts working. This is the default in InDesign and QuarkXpress. I receive lots of adverts for programmes and newsletters. Most are in pdf format and many of the advertisers are very creative in finding typefaces that are hard to source and a pain to keep track of on my system even with Suitcase Fusion. I am working around this by saving to eps with fonts converted to outlines but this simply should not be necessary.

Secondly there is a beginning of a pre-flight system in a warning that frames have overset text. But this warning doesn't say on which page the overset text is on. Giving the page number would be a real help with long documents.

A big thank you to all at Serif

Or even better a "Go to" button. Show the page at fill screen zoom and highlight the Layer in the Layers Studio.

Until then what I do is set the Zoom to Show Document and have Show Text Flow turned on. Lots of red dots show the pages with the overflow text.

Mac Pro (Late 2013) Mac OS 12.7.6 
Affinity Designer 2.5.7 | Affinity Photo 2.5.7 | Affinity Publisher 2.5.7 | Beta versions as they appear.

I have never mastered color management, period, so I cannot help with that.

I absolutely agree. Just trying to export a large document, and I'd really like to not have to look through every page to find the overset text box.

Of course, a preflight feature would be quite handy to answer this kind of question, too...
