Version: Adobe InDesign 2020. Be aware that different versions of InDesign will vary in appearance and functionality. Full Guide: View/Download

Some types of projects, such as books or multiple-page PDFs, require additional pages. Other projects, such as flyers, may only require one page. Basic page controls are listed below:

To access pages,click to open the Pages panel to the right of the interface (if it isn't an option, navigate to Window > Pages).
To add a new page, click the New Page button to the bottom of the Pages panel.
To re-order pages, click-and-drag them up-or-down the list of pages.
To delete a page, open the Pages panel, select the page, and click the trash can icon.

Master Pages

Master pages are templates that can be used to keep certain aspect of a document, such as footers and pages numbers, consistent across pages. Using master pages can save a lot of time and energy, especially for multi-page documents. Master Pages are located above regular pages in the Pages panel and every document has one master page by default ("A-Master").

To use and apply master pages:

Navigate to the Pages panel.
Double-click a master page from the top of the panel. "A-Master" is available by default.
Add elements, such as text and images, as desired.
Right-click within the Pages panel and select "Apply Master to Pages..." from the pop-up. A new window will appear.
Use the drop-downs to select the desired master page, as well as the page to apply it to. Select "All" to apply it to every page.

To clear a master page, select "None" as the master.

Elements that come from a master page will appear with dotted frames.

To add page numbers (requires using and modifying a Master page):

Insert a text frame onto a master page.
Navigate to Type > Insert Special Character > Markers > Current Page Number. An "A" will appear in the frame, which is a placeholder.
Format as desired in the Options bar.
Apply master to pages as described above.
Right-click the first page that numbering should start in the Pages panel, and select "Numbering & Section Options". The first page of a document isn't always the first page for numbering, such as a cover/title page.
Select the "Start page numbering at" option.
When done, click OK.

To remove a number from a page, such as the cover/title, a master page without a page number text frame must be applied.
