Isn't this a little bit like RTFM?

Thank you everybody. It was late last night when I could not find how to it. But in the cold light of a new day I have found how to do it along with adding my palettes. Its just going to be taking a bit of time to get used to the new program. Good day to you all and thank you once again. Cheers Vicki(and John)

CreoFora is another third party forum dedicated to Affinity that complements Alfred's forum quite nicely.

I noticed some tutorials (help articles) being posted on Discord yesterday, but cannot find any today (things move too fast over there). I have asked where these files can be found and will post a link here later, if I get to know where they are. I am pretty sure there is one for those of us moving from V2 to Affinity Studio.

Good evening to all.
I have installed the new Affinity program (ver 3) but sadly I cannot find how to add/import my brushes to the panel. Has anybody got the answer to this please. Thank you Vicki (and John)
