That is up to you. When doing books it may be most helpful to use facing pages. That way you have an inside and outside margin. Also, some features can be set in relation to the spine, which only applies to facing pages. -EG
How do you keep the margins correct, when turning off facing pages, when designing a book? To retain the inside margin. Like when designing a book with facing pages, then turning it off to place the bleeds correctly. I've done this before, but I can't remember how it was done anymore...
i have a question please, i'm still confused what is the difference when i print it when both the document size is A4 ? is it only for viewing on inDesign? but if u print it the result will be the same? or if facing pages is on then in order to print it we should use the double size A4 page to print 2 pages at once?
I want to have a finished children's book 8.5 x 8.5, for KDP publishing. Do I make my page size bigger for the bleed they will be cutting off, or does the bleed add the extra width/height?
Make your doc the final size, set the bleed amount they require. When you output, check the box to use the document bleed amount from the Marks and Bleeds section.
Can't turn my document into a facing pages. I tried everything. Document setup is checked. everything. Would you know why I can't turn spreads into facing pages? Best
You set facing pages as a document-wide setting. To get a set of facing master/parent pages, set the number of pages from the Master Options in the Pages panel.
That's up to you (and a printer, if you're having them output it). You'll need it for some options (such as align toward/away from spine). If you're outputting as single page PDF, then you won't. It really depends on the workflow. -EG
If you need extra pages on either side of the spine (like to do a fold out), you need to de-select “Allow Document Pages to Shuffle” in the Pages panel. Then drag all pages to the side of the spine you need. -EG

hiii do you know how to remove the black line in the middle?
In the Pages panel? Or on the pages themselves? Either one is just for a visual cue for the page edge. Neither of them print. -EG

Can't turn my document into a facing pages. I tried everything. Document setup is checked. everything. Would you know why I can't turn spreads into facing pages? Best
Did you have them as single pages first? And did you change them in the Document setup dialog box? If so, they should change to facing pages. -EG
How do I turn on facing pages for Master page
You set facing pages as a document-wide setting. To get a set of facing master/parent pages, set the number of pages from the Master Options in the Pages panel.
@@CreativePro thanks I figured it out
superstar
so in making a book, with pages and a back and front cover, should I turn off facing pages
That's up to you (and a printer, if you're having them output it). You'll need it for some options (such as align toward/away from spine). If you're outputting as single page PDF, then you won't. It really depends on the workflow. -EG
How to set up three facing pages?
If you need extra pages on either side of the spine (like to do a fold out), you need to de-select “Allow Document Pages to Shuffle” in the Pages panel. Then drag all pages to the side of the spine you need. -EG

Very useful video, but terminology is dated. Could do with an update.
