How do I change how Book pages are displayed?

By default, the Book Viewer makes several assumptions about Book objects:

  • That you want to display two pages side by side (or whatever default you set in the general Book configuration)
  • That your book has a cover, and so presents the first page alone and subsequent pages side by side
  • That your pages were ingested in the correct order
  • That your book reads right-to-left

Each of these things can be configured by Managing the book and clicking to the Book tab.

  • Page Progression: choose between right-to-left and left-to-right
  • Page Display Mode: choose to display pages one at a time, or two side by side
  • Book Cover?: Indicate whether your book has a cover. This toggles whether Page 1 is shown alone or beside Page 2.
  • Reorder Pages: Rearrange individual pages.
  • Delete pages: Delete individual pages.
