      Is the catalog going to be printed and bound? Multi-page documents that will be printed usually need to be setup as facing pages so that the pages can be correctly imposed at the printer.

        Hi there,

        Thanks for reaching out. I understand that you are trying to turn off facing pages in InDesign. As mentioned above, you can do that by going to File > Document Setup and uncheck Facing Pages option in Document Setup dialog box.

                            

        For more information on Pages and Spreads in InDesign you can refer to this help article: Pages and spreads in InDesign

        Let us know if this helps or if you need any further assistance.

        Regards,

        Srishti

          I did that to my template and it totally messed up the page design. Is there a way to do this so it won't mess up the design?

          OP's question regarding publishing/uploading (to ISSUU) was answered above. Even when you're InDesigning 'spreads', you can always export the document as single page PDFs. 

           

          However, when you're working on spreads in Indesign, there is no way switching up to single pages won't mess up your progress here and there. If you want to set up single pages as your default, just create a new document and opt out of 'Facing Pages' from the start. Your next new file will keep the same setting.

          This should be in the Document Setup dialog. See Opprette nye dokumenter i Adobe InDesign CC 2015 og eldre versjoner -- it says "for older versions, but the dialog is the same in the latest version. The Help for that version, however, seems to overly concentrate on creating a new document from scratch, and is not translated into Norwegian.

          Yes it is ok for new documents from scratch. However if you want to take a template and turn off facing pages it does not seem to be possible.
