Editing PagePlus (section)

=== Replacement by Affinity Publisher ===

Serif announced that PagePlus X9 was to be the final PagePlus release. The last build issued to date is v19.0.2.22 from 28 April 2017. Serif ceased further development of all "Plus" products to focus efforts on their 'Affinity' product line.

Serif began rewriting their DTP software, to allow a multi-platform implementation, and allow new methods of internal program operation with more modern operating systems and the typical current (2018/9) configuration of PCs.

A public beta of Serif's [[Affinity Publisher]] (the closest of the Affinity applications to PagePlus functionality) was launched in August 2018,<ref>{{cite web|url=https://affinity.serif.com/en-gb/publisher/ |title=Affinity Publisher |website=Serif Website |access-date=3 August 2018}}</ref> followed by the first full version of the application in June 2019.<ref name=":7">{{Cite web|last=Gallagher|first=William|date=2019-06-19|title=Mac page design app Affinity Publisher comes out of beta|url=https://appleinsider.com/articles/19/06/19/mac-page-design-app-affinity-publisher-comes-out-of-beta|access-date=2019-08-17|website=AppleInsider|language=en}}</ref>
