Publications comprise a series of pages; you can use the Pages panel to add, move, and remove those pages as needed. You can also double-click pages in this panel to open them on the canvas for editing.
The actions in the Pages panel are enabled using drag and drop or the right-click context menus.

Content items in duplicated and copied pages
When you duplicate or copy and paste a page, the new page is created with its content items "duplicated" in the same position as the original:
- If the page is pasted into a publication that uses a different theme to the source publication, the target theme's fonts, colors, and so on are applied wherever the original page's formatting was not manually overridden.
- All basic content items (text fields, placeholders, variable text fields, shapes, and images) that are present on the original page are duplicated in the copy.
- Any discoveries are shown in both source and target pages, but as different views of the same underlying discovery rather than as duplicated visuals. This means that any changes that you make to the underlying discovery (right-click Open in Discover) affects the visual on both pages.
- Any interactions between copied content items (including discoveries) and slicers are enabled in the target if the slicer exists in the target publication.
Tip: If you paste a page into a publication that uses a different page size or orientation to the source, you may want to improve the layout of your content items on your copied pages either using the Auto Layout tool or by moving and resizing the content items on your canvas.
Tip: You can apply formatting changes to your discoveries that apply only to one of the pages using the formatting options on the ribbon. For example, you can show the legend for a discovery on one page and hide it on another.
