Adjust margins in existing book files

Using macbookair OS 14.6 and ID 20.0.1

I have already laid out a novel (600 pages) that is broken into 6 separate indd files that are linked with an indb file as a book. All the pages have text boxes that fill the page and flow from one to the next.

Now I find out that I need to shift all the margins 1/8" toward the outside to make for a deeper gutter. The text box width will stay the same — just shift over. If I just set new margins in File > Document setup, the text boxes will remain in their original position. Is it possible to somehow have the text boxes automatically move to fit the new margins?

You have ro activate LAYOUT ADJUSTMENT before you make the changes.

Perfect. Seems to work like a charm.
