Learned a few new things! My Affinity Publisher tip would be switching back and forth between the layout and preview mode using CTRL+SHIFT+W. This helps me judge spacing at a macro level more easily.
I've been very impressed with Affinity since making the jump a few years ago from Adobe, enjoyed this run down of key elements through an affinity lens!
I think I’ve made every one of these mistakes in the 2 weeks since I bought Affinity, and you’ve pointed every one of them out when I’ve shown you my work 😂. I had not run up against the blend modes yet. Thanks for the warning!

Ctrl+Shift+W is life. I obsessively click the guides vs. preview on and off while working!
Gutters are no joke! They only get stronger the bigger your book is :>
Excellent article as always, but a note to anyone confused as to why they can't find fields.
I found I was unable to access them through VIEW > STUDIO.
For whatever reason, on my version of Affinity I was able to find them via the path WINDOW > REFERENCES > FIELDS
V1 user, guilty as charged.
Thanks for the catch! I've updated the post to include instructions for V2 as well!
