Select a page or spread, and then choose Duplicate Page or Duplicate Spread in the Pages panel menu. The new
page or spread appears at the end of the document.

Press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) as you drag the page icon or page range numbers under a spread to a
new location.

Note: Duplicating a page or spread also duplicates all objects on the page or spread. Text threads from the duplicated
spread to other spreads are broken, but all text threads within the duplicated spread remain intact—as do all text threads
on the original spread.

Control spread pagination

Most documents use two-page spreads exclusively. When you add or remove pages before a spread, the pages shuffle
by default. However, you may want to keep certain pages in a spread together. For example, you can create gatefold
or accordion foldouts by creating a multiple-page spread (also called an island spread) and adding pages to it. By not
allowing pages to shuffle, you can ensure that pages are kept in the same spread.
