I'm working on a multi page document. If I have an index on page 2, is there any way I can make a picture box on page 2 and then set it to preview whatever is on page 3, 4, 5 etc and then the picture box(s) on page 2 would update the preview as I work on page 3, 4, 5 etc

Any help would be appreciated.

There is Pages Panel in InDesign?

Or you need it to be a permanent part of the Index?

Apologies, maybe I'm not explaining myself correctly... 😞
I have a multi page document, I want a index on page 2 that has pictures of what is on pages 3, 4, 5 etc

If I have picture boxes on page 2 labled as 'Page 3', 'Page 4', 'Page 5' etc - is there anyway to add a live preview of those pages to these picture boxes on page 2.

And then those page 2 preview boxes would update as I work on pages 3, 4, 5 etc

Hope that makes sense.

I understood you - but why do you need this? Just as a preview - when working on the document - or as a permanent part of the index - when published?

I'm on my phone so can't check - InDesign can place a page from INDD document in another document - not sure if it's possible with the same document?
