Hello all,
I am trying to create a 3x3 layout into one spread within INDD, for creating an Instagram grid. I am finding the directions online unclear. The following link is where I have been seeking answers, but I am not getting the results I need.
I have managed to get all 9 pages into one spread, but I am finding it difficult to get the pages into a 3x3 layout. Does anyone have any advice as to how to do this?

Why do you need 9 pages in a grid?
What is it you're actually trying to achieve here? Why can't you do 1 page and spit it into a grid?
Illustrator can move artboards more freely.
I'm just confused as to the end goal.
AFAIK the page panel will show as a single line of pages
But you can use the Page TOOL on the left side toolbar
You can then drag the pages independently
I attached an IDML file showing this

Draw your Image Frames and align them with no gaps
Then select them all and go to Object>Path>Compound Path
You can then Place a picture and it will be split across the 9 frames
So it acts as 1 image frame

I'm trying to create a puzzle post for Instagram. If I don't need 9 pages, that's great! My understanding was that I needed 9 1080 x 1080 pages for a 3x3 layout. Appreciate your help.

I think you can do it either way - sample IDML file as 3x3 grid is there - it's 600 x 600
But Illustrator might be better to do this.
Not familiar with Instagram so no idea what is happening or what you need there 😄
