How do I change the position of my pages I'm designing so they are stacked and not offset?

[defaultffny6uvqk1ul]

This is how my pages are currently positioned. I want these pages lined up in a column so i can scroll more easily to the pages below. Is there a setting to change the postion of the pages and is there a default setting to change for new documents I create? Thanks

Turn off Facing Pages. This is, however, a structural change to the document, not just a setting for how they are ordered in the Pages palette. I don't know of any way to make the display linear (horizontal or vertical) with Facing Pages enabled.

You could also insert a blank first page so that your other pages are lined up in pairs. Just remember not to include it — or just delete it — when you print or export.

It appears that you are working with a facing pages enabled, with a right opening page and a left second page—so that's how they are displayed. (You must have added the green lines?) Single-sided documents display one under the other.

Hi @defaultffny6uvqk1ul ,

I'm not sure what you are showing in your screenshot.

What I'm missing is a visible pasteboard area around the pages.

Please turn to Normal View and show the document pages in about 10% zoom. Show the whole layout window. Also make sure that the minimum values for the pasteboard are not 0. Check that in InDesign's Preferences panel.
