Is anyone else running into the issue of the template crashing every time you make an edit? For context, I am on an iPad Air M2. I’ve only done a little bit of the formatting so far, and originally everything was fine. But as of today, any time I try to edit the template at all, I can save the changes, but then if I try to go back to my projects, the program crashes. When I open it back up, it appears as though the changes have been saved, but then when I open the file, they have not.

Feeling a little bit worried because I’m excited for my project and I have a lot to do, but I don’t want this to be a fatal roadblock. I’ve redownloaded the template, and started over, and it’s working for now…

Also, is there any way to get rid of the “missing resources” popup every time I open the template?

Have you tried opening, editing, and saving another file in Affinity?  It sounds like you might be having issues with your Affinity installation (I’ve read some recommendations to reinstall affinity from their website using the .exe extension but have not experienced this issue myself.

For missing files, you’ll want to move everything to the same folder (before opening Publisher), open the template, open Resource Manager in the windows drop down, and then update or replace the assets using the new file location (the folder where you moved the assets using).

If you can open and work with other Affinity Publisher docs, you could always copy and paste template content over and save there.

hope this helps!

Thanks so much for your response, Watt. I’ve tried all of the advice I’ve found, but so far the only thing that’s working is your copy and paste advice haha. Here’s hoping I’m able to make it through without it getting corrupted again. I suppose if it does, I can just copy and paste again to extend the timer. Thanks again!

Glad to hear I could help and sorry to hear the issues persist!
