Keep Affinity Designer 2 up to date on your Mac
Affinity Designer 2 is covered by Floodtide. It shows up in your update list the moment a newer version ships. Affinity Designer 2 can also update itself, but only once you open it, and only itself.
How Affinity Designer 2 gets updated
Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where Affinity Designer 2's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out.
The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from Affinity Designer 2's own updater, or from the developer's site.
