Copy and duplicate pages

There are two methods for achieving this:

Duplicate pages immediately after the last page in your selection.
Copy the selected pages to your chosen position, before or after a specific page number.

The selected pages need not be a continuous range.

The order of the new pages will match the originals.

Copying pages using drag and drop

Pages can be copied by holding the while dragging and dropping their thumbnails.

When dragging page thumbnails:

A blue insertion point indicates the where the pages will be positioned if dropped.
The cursor indicates whether pages will be inserted as new spreads or extend the targeted spread.

Available positions vary according to whether Reflow Pages (on the Pages panel's preferences menu) is enabled or disabled.

When Reflow Pages is enabled, pages will reflow starting at whichever is earliest—either the first page in the selection or the position where you drop—through to the end of your document.

When Reflow Pages is disabled, pages will not automatically reflow. This may result in 'ghost' pages.

To duplicate pages:

On the Pages panel:
1. Select one or more publication pages or a master page.
2. Select Duplicate Selected Pages or Duplicate Selected Master as appropriate. The new pages are created immediately after your selection.
