The Affinity templates provided by Freie Universität Berlin were prepared with Affinity 2 and designed for use with this version of the program. Please make sure that that you are always working with the most recent version. It is not possible to update older versions of Affinity (such as Version 1.8.6.) to Affinity 2. Instead, you must install Affinity 2 as a new program. 

The download file for Affinity may be found in the FUB-IT Portal (formerly the ZEDAT Portal): https://portal.zedat.fu-berlin.de/
