hi, 
i am getting a crash when trying to duplicate a page via this method:
i drag a page eg pg2 from the 'pages' box to the 'create new page' icon bottom right next to trash icon
no problems doing this with 2024 version (or any previous version)
using Indesign 2025 on Sonoma 14.4.1

happens with old files and new files - not every time but pretty regularly
please advise what to do
getting very frustrated

What if you do it through the context menu - and select Duplicate option?

Hi @Regi Lippuner,

 

I hope updating your OS or the suggestions form the experts helped fix the issue. If not, could you let me know if you're still experiencing crashes when duplicating a page?

If the problem persists, you might find this thread helpful, where similar issues were discussed:

Let me know how it goes! Looking forward to your update.

And you are not up to date with your OS?

Does in happen with every file?

If not, save as IDML, open that and save as new INDD in the same folder as the old INDD.
