Good to Know!

  • When only one page is visible, it cannot be hidden.
    The Show/Hide option is disabled, and the Eye icon/toggle is hidden.
  • Hidden pages can still be selected and edited.
  • Hidden pages do not output.

  • Visibility applies to all layouts.
    It is not possible to hide different pages in different layouts.
  • When a document is loaded, the first visible page is selected.

Studio UI Considerations

  • Hidden pages are ignored.
    The page navigation panel only shows snapshots of visible pages.
    When only one page is visible, the panel is hidden.
    In the example below, page 1 is hidden, so it is not shown in the panel:

  • Page numbers only reflect visible pages (the end-user doesn’t need to know about hidden pages).
  • Upon loading, the first visible page is selected.

Digital

  • Layouts with a digital intent use the first visible page instead of always using page 1.
    If you hide page 1, it affects all digital layouts.

Duplicate Pages

Click "..." > Duplicate Page

The duplicate is inserted directly after the original page and contains all the same frames, content, and layout settings. Use this as a starting point for a new variation without having to rebuild the page from scratch.

Delete Pages

Click "..." > Delete Page

Confirm the deletion (or cancel).

Delete Last Page

When only one page is visible, it cannot be deleted.
The Delete option is disabled.
