Custom content you have created in Affinity or imported from an add-on file is normally available in one app.
With a couple of taps, you can link custom content to all Affinity V2 (or later) apps on the same device.
You can manually link individual content categories containing assets, brushes or styles and individual application palettes, or choose for newly created or imported content categories or application palettes to be automatically linked.
Categories and application palettes that are linked or were installed via your Account display one of the following icons next to their name in the relevant panel's category/palette list:
When a linked category or palette is edited in one Affinity app, the changes are automatically reflected in your other Affinity apps on the same device, avoiding the concern that it might be outdated in some of them.
When a linked category or palette is duplicated, the new copy is unlinked, i.e. it is unaffected by editing the original category or palette. You might use this, for example, to create a further customized version of an assets category for use only in one app.
When a linked category or palette is deleted in an Affinity app, it is deleted only from that app. It remains linked in other Affinity apps until it is deleted from all but one of them.
For example, you might want a palette that is optimized for a CMYK workflow to be linked in Affinity Designer and Affinity Publisher, but not in Affinity Photo 2 if you use it exclusively for RGB documents. In Affinity Photo 2, you might duplicate the linked CMYK palette to create an unlinked copy of it, delete the unwanted CMYK palette, and then optimize the unlinked copy for your RGB workflow.

Fonts installed into one Affinity 2 iPad app are automatically available in all Affinity 2 iPad apps on the same device.
