This is an awesome feature in Affinity, and your pamphlet looks great. Would you consider doing a longer video where you walk through step-by-step how you create a tri-fold like this? I want to make some of these for Mothership RPG. Awesome video
I knew about this feature, but I don't know why I just didn't use it much. Now that I am using Figma a lot and I'm really dependent on Components (advanced version of Symbols), I'm planning to start using it in Affinity as well.
I'm confused by this video. Seems to be a designer feature that is recognized by publisher. I didn't try you epiphany yet, so my question is, is the symbol management software, after you have used it in designer for the publisher project, now available from publisher directly (as is some photo and designer features that become available in the other app after first use in a project), or do you have to go back to designer from publisher to make the changes, etc. to a symbol ? Thanks-
If you own both designer and publisher, you can open a publisher document and open the “designer persona” (see icon in the top left corner) and access all of designer’s feature. It’s a weird flow and I’d prefer if everything was available within the same app but what can you do. Hope this helps !

There are not enough like buttons here to express how much I like and needed this. Awesome, thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it!!
Cool feature. Makes me want to jump back into Affinity and create something.
That's the spirit.
Really great tip - I’ve heard of symbols before, but never really thought about cases where they might be useful.
Glad it was helpful!
This is a great feature, thank you! :)
My pleasure !
That's so awesome! Really had given up on publisher doing something like this
Yeah, as a web dev, I truly felt like Affinity was missing something crucial, only to realize it had been there forever.

This is a great idea! I'll add a todo in my list, I love this! Also, making trifolds Mothership supplements is a great idea!

So many app haves this feature in some form or another im just so happy I found affinity’s version of it!
Most powerful video so far, RP! Thank you very much for this tip!
Thank you!!! For playbook/kit/character sheet design this is just the best!
This is amazing, would have saved me days! Thanks for sharing this.
Yeah, I feel exactly the same. I'm glad you find it useful as well!
Very cool. Do duplicate an item you can command drag.
oh yeah I love that shortcut!
Very interesting, thank you.
game changer!
Glad it was helpful!
Cool! Thanks a lot!

"This Is the Best Feature in Affinity Publisher" ... "you need Affinity Designer" :)
😅😅😅
cool & all but why the heck is it called "symbols"? if it had a better name more people would have discovered and known about this
Yeah I think “component” or something would have been a better name
