Spread / Per Page
Choose one shared layout or separate page layouts.
This switch decides the scope of the layout before you touch gap, padding, or alignment.
It answers one question first: should both pages behave like one shared spread, or should the left and right pages each have their own layout space?
What Changes
- Spread keeps one shared layout block across both pages
- Per Page gives each page its own independent layout block
- in Per Page, left and right can be adjusted separately
Use Spread when the composition should behave like one connected unit. Use Per Page when each page needs to breathe and move on its own.
Keyboard Arranging Per Page
The selected-photo arrow shortcuts work the same in Per Page mode, scoped to the page that holds the photo. Select a photo, then press an arrow to move it one step within its own page, or hold Shift and press an arrow to rearrange that page into a rich layout with the photo anchored to the side you pressed. The other page never moves, so you can arrange the left and right pages independently without touching the mouse. See the keyboard reference for the full arrow behavior.
