In Affinity Publisher, you can add a section, selected pages, or all pages of another Affinity Publisher document to your current document.
You can choose the position at which merged pages are added to your current document. For example, this is useful to add a cover that has been produced as a separate document.
To merge documents:
Do one of the following:
From the Document menu, select Add Pages from File.
Right-click on a page from the Pages panel and select Add Pages from File. (Use this method to identify up front the position where you intend merged pages to be inserted.)
Browse to and select the file to merge into the current document, then click Open.
On the Add Pages from File dialog, choose whether to add All Pages, selected Page Numbers or a named Section. (Sections need to be created in advance in the incoming document.)
From Add Pages, select whether the merged pages/section will be added before or after a specific page/section in the current document, replace an existing section/pages, or be appended after the last page.
If the merged pages are to be inserted or replaced, use Pages or section and the complementary setting below it to identify the required position in the current document.
Check Ignore Initial Section to discard the first section 'marker' from the incoming document. All documents have a section marker on their first page. When the pages being merged include the first page and this option is checked, this section marker is not added to your current document. This does not affect the merging of pages from the section.
Uncheck Discard Unused Text Styles if you want to carry over unused text styles from the incoming document. By default, unused text styles won't be merged into your current document.
Click OK.
Resolving conflicts
An additional Imported Text Styles dialog may be presented for you to manage any new or matching incoming text styles.
If master pages and text styles are identical between the two documents, then those of the current document are used (no duplicate master pages or text styles will be added).
If master pages differ, the incoming master pages are merged into the current document and will still be assigned to incoming pages as before.
If text styles with the same name have different settings, you can either overwrite the current document's text style or rename the incoming style.
If a text style is unique to the incoming document, it will be added to the current document.
