Use this interactive demo to learn the steps for flipping pages in Adobe InDesign.

Here’s a simple and quick guide on how to flip pages in Adobe InDesign:

‍

To flip a page in Adobe InDesign, open the Pages panel, which can be accessed via the Window menu.
In the Pages panel, select and right-click a page. Then choose 'Page Attributes' → 'Rotate Spread View', and select your desired rotation angle.
Notice how the page flips to your desired rotation.

📌 Why this matters

Flipping pages lets you review your layout from different orientations without physically rotating your screen or printouts. This becomes essential when designing materials that readers will view in multiple positions—like magazine spreads that work both horizontally and vertically, or brochures meant to be folded and read from various angles.

Beyond basic review, page rotation reveals how your design elements interact with different reading flows and helps you catch alignment issues that only become apparent when the content is viewed from an unexpected perspective.
