Create color labels for page thumbnails
You can assign colored labels to the page thumbnails in the Pages panel. For example, you can use color labels to
indicate the status of the pages, such as a green label for complete spreads, a yellow label for spreads being worked on,
and a red label for unstarted spreads.
1 In the Pages panel, select the pages to which you want to apply the color labels.
2 From the Pages panel menu, choose Color Label, and then choose the color to assign.
The color label appears below the thumbnail in the Pages panel.
Applying a color label to master pages affects all pages to which the master is applied. However, when you apply a color
label to individual document pages, the color label for the document pages is used. To use a color label for master pages,
select the document pages you want to change and choose Color Label > Use Master Color from the Pages panel menu.
Move, duplicate, and delete pages and spreads
You can use the Pages panel to freely arrange, duplicate, and recombine pages and spreads. Keep the following
guidelines in mind when adding, arranging, duplicating, or removing pages within a document:
•
InDesign preserves the threads between text frames.
•
InDesign redistributes pages according to
how the Allow Document Pages To Shuffle command is set.
•
An object that spans multiple pages stays with the page on which the object’s bounding box covers the most area.

Move pages by dragging
❖
As you drag, the vertical bar indicates where the page will appear when you drop it. If the black rectangle or bar
touches a spread when Allow Pages to Shuffle is turned off, the page you’re dragging will extend that spread;
otherwise, document pages will be redistributed to match the Facing Pages setting in the File
> Document Setup
dialog box.
In the Pages panel, drag a page icon to a new position within the document.
