+
+[Updated April 2024 for MacOS Sonoma]
+
+Below is what I found worked quickly to allow me to draw on my iPad with the Apple Pencil whilst using Affinity (Publisher, Photo, Designer) 2.
+
+To preserve the iPad's real estate, I leave the Affinity tools and Studios etc on the Mac and use the iPad for drawing.
+
+## Separate Affinity's drawing canvas from studio controls etc.
+
+1. Conect the iPad to the Mac with a USB cable
+
+1. Open Affinity 2 on the Mac
+
+1.  Choose "Window >> Float View to Window" which will create a separate "floating" window containing the "canvas".
+
+1.  In MacOS, hover over the green dot at the top left of the Affinity (floated canvas) window and choose "Move to Iain's iPad"
+
+Now I can select brushes and colours etc. on the Mac and zoom and draw with the Apple Pencil on the iPad
