- YEARS of not knowing this was a thing. So much time I could have saved if I knew about this. Gosh. Anyway, let's talk about Symbols and how they can make your life easier, especially when designing character sheets for TTRPGs.

There are not enough like buttons here to express how much I like and needed this. Awesome, thanks a lot!
Glad you liked it!!
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
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!
Cool feature. Makes me want to jump back into Affinity and create something.
That's the spirit.
Wow, I have ever used this feature when making patters in Designer. Think -think Susan!
Really great tip - I’ve heard of symbols before, but never really thought about cases where they might be useful.
Glad it was helpful!
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.
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!
Muy buen tip!. Muchas gracias. Daniel de Argentina.
De nada!
Wow! That is masterfully useful! I will definitely use this in the future!
Yeah I was so happy when I discovered it ^^
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!
That's a crazy handy feature! Thanks for the tip.
My pleasure!
That's a powerful feature!
Right !?
This is a great feature, thank you! :)
My pleasure !
Very interesting, thank you.
Cool! Thanks a lot!
Holy shit!
game changer!
Glad it was helpful!
I want to create gaming cards and i saw a video of some one using an excell spread sheet with the info and linking that to the card fields to automatically populate the fields with that info just by pressing generate button.
I dident tryed but my quetion is, does that way create info repetition or they just use the info once? Do you know anything about that?
My idea is to turn my favorite rpg tables into a single card, so instead of rolling on tables i just grab a card.
Very cool. Do duplicate an item you can command drag.
oh yeah I love that shortcut!
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.
So many app haves this feature in some form or another im just so happy I found affinity’s version of it!
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 !
Basically an AutoCad Block
"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
