How to Rename Pages in InDesign for Easier Identification

Is there a way I can name a page in the Pages panel to something I can easily recognise so that I can find or move a page without difficulty?

 

Like how you can rename an artboard in Illustrator.

 

Hope I'm using the proper terminology!

What is your workflow? Why do you have to move pages so frequently?

I don't really, in this case I was given a project to put together a booklet which comprises of different categories - I'm given certain categories and add them on as I get them - later I'm told the order the categories need to go in the booklet.

 

A category can vary between 3 and 8 pages each.

Hi @Niall5CB2,

 

Thanks for reaching out! I understand how helpful it can be to have a more intuitive way to manage and identify pages in your InDesign document.

You might find this community post helpful: [Renaming Pages](https://adobe.ly/3MNStSA). It provides a solution for renaming pages in InDesign that might be useful for your situation.

 

If you have any other questions or need further assistance, just let me know!


Thank you,

Thanks,

 

I decided to go with this suggestion from @tgm2465 

 

"Closest thing I found was Pages > Right-click the page thumbnail > Numbering & Section Options. You can put 8 letters in "Section Prefix". It still makes you put a number, but I just set them all to "Start Page Numbering at: 1" .

 

I know it's not clean designing, but it helped. "

 

I don't understand why it isn't straightforward in Indesign, this seems to be the best way but it's still very hokey (I'm limited to 8 characters and have to keep the number).
