Hello Hive!

 

I must have accidently changed something because when I try to add pages to my document, instead of getting nice 2 page spreads, I'm getting mega spreads. 

Help!

TIA 🙂

Hi @Noyster2:

 

You can manually drag the new pages into their own spreads, or you can select all the spreads and re-enable Allow Document Pages (and Selected Spreads) to Shuffle. That will restore normal spreads, where 1 is a right page and you have 2-page spreads moving forward.

 

Making page 1 a left page is an option—not necessary a good option and doesn't follow standard publishing conventions where right pages are always odd numbers and left pages are always even numbers—but that's what led you into this situation.
