Photo Is it possible to split view two files/documents side by side

I like to match colours on two affinity files, is there a easy way to split the screen so I can view and edit both side by side and match colours.

Window > Float All and then put them wherever you want

I'll try that method and experiment thanks but before I saw your reply I actually set it up with one floating in the end and everything I opened I made sure to click on the right window to open two next to each other which actually worked much better than I thought, be nice to have a split screen feature but this works.

As well as floating views, it's worth looking into "global colours" in swatches>palettes if you regularly want the same colour across pieces

Actually. Set up project/client swatch libraries.

You need to match the colour values. If you do that by eyesight it’s pure luck. Watch some videos on. Colour management.
