In Design and Calendar Project

Question

I work on Wall Calendars. Each month has a photo and a description. On the back of the calendar there is shown once again the 12 month pictures (much smaller) and their descriptions. Is there any way to make it so that when I add the picture and description to the Month page, it automatically creates the smaller instance and text on the last page. I know I can copy paste, but I am creating many different calendars and I want to save time any way I can.

I am using the latest version of InDesign.

There are a couple of options I can think of:

1. Create a "template" file with a place holder image positioned in both locations. (One place holder for each month.) Then use the Links menu to replace each place holder with the actual image. Be sure to set the Fill Frame Proportionally first.

2. Place your monthly images as usually. On the 12 picture page, just place and select all 12 images. Click and drag to fit the frame to all 12 images but don't let go of the mouse. Use your arrow keys to create the grid. Apply the fill frame setting as needed. See animation below (I had to dupe a couple of images to get 12):
