Use this interactive demo to learn how to renumber pages in Adobe InDesign.

Here’s a quick guide on how to renumber pages in Adobe InDesign:

‍

  1. To renumber pages in Adobe InDesign, first go to the Pages panel to view all pages, or access it via 'Window → Pages.'
  2. Once open, click the 'Three-line' icon at the top-right corner of the panel to access more page options.
  3. Select 'Allow Document Pages to Shuffle.'
  4. Go to the page you want to renumber and right-click to access more page options.
  5. Select 'Numbering & Section Options' to open a New Section panel.
  6. Enable 'Start Page Numbering at:' and enter your preferred number.
  7. Click 'OK' to apply page renumbering.
  8. Check the Pages panel to see how the renumbering has been applied to your document pages.

📌 Why this matters

Renumbering pages lets you maintain consistent page numbers when combining multiple documents, inserting chapters mid-project, or creating complex publications with different numbering schemes. You might need Roman numerals for introductory sections and Arabic numbers for main content, or start each chapter at page 1.

This becomes essential when working with legal documents, academic papers, or multi-section reports where specific numbering conventions are required. The real power emerges when you're collaborating on large projects where different team members handle separate sections that must integrate seamlessly.
