Adding, duplicating, renaming, and deleting pages

CorelDRAW lets you add pages to a drawing or duplicate existing pages. You can also rename pages and delete a single page or an entire range of pages. You can also move objects from one page to another.

When you duplicate a page, you can choose to only copy the layer structure of the page or you can copy the layers and all the objects they contain. For more information about layers, see “Working with layers.”

You can use the Page Sorter view to manage pages while viewing the page contents. The Page Sorter view lets you change the order of pages as well as copy, add, rename, and delete pages.
