Where/How to end bleed on inside lines of spread

Hi,

I have a 400 page file. My pages are 10x12 - and my bleed is 4mm. There are 4 different bg/colored pages scattered throughout it. When I created the Master Pages, I brought the color of the page all the way out to the bleed (Pic 1, below)...

My question is, when the two pages are side-by-side (as in a spread), one of the bleed overlaps the other (Pic 2, below).

What's the proper way to align these, so that both inside edges are equal to the bleed lines?

Thanks!

Most binding methods don’t need an inside bleed, the exception would be something like wire-o where the inside edge is exposed and gets trimmed rather than folded.

You can specify an inside bleed for facing page documents, but the bleed content comes from the oposite page. For typical binding methods your printer would remove any bleed when the document is imposed.

Thanks Rob.

Also, my original Master pages don't have the bg color extended all the way to the bleed itself.

How do I edit those existing Master pages to have the page color extend all the way to the bleed?

Double-click the master spread in the Pages panel and edit the spread. Your edits will be reflected in the pages associated with that master unless you have overridden and moved a master page item on a page.

With facing pages there is no inside bleed area—you would align objects to the spine guide:
