how to turn off facing pages in affinity publisher
HeyBraza points at the facing-pages checkbox in document setup so you switch it without flipping your whole layout.
by default affinity treats pages as facing spreads (like an open book), which throws people off when they want plain single pages for a flyer or a pdf. the toggle is buried in document setup. here's where it is and how to switch safely.
short answer
document > setup > document setup, open the model tab, and untick 'facing pages'. if the pages then reshuffle, adjust 'reflow pages' on the same tab.
or do it yourself
- 1go to the document menu → setup → document setup.
- 2open the model tab in the dialog.
- 3uncheck 'facing pages' to turn every page into a single page.
- 4if your pages reshuffle, also check the 'reflow pages' option on the same tab and adjust as needed.
- 5click ok, then check the pages panel to confirm the pages are now single, not paired.

downloadcommon questions
where is the facing pages setting in the new affinity?
document menu → setup → document setup → model tab → 'facing pages' checkbox.
turning off facing pages messed up my layout - what now?
facing layouts have inner/outer margins; after switching to single pages, re-check your margins and master pages, since left/right masters may now apply differently.
