Avoid blank pages / automatic pages reflow across documents

      I’m working on a very long document, and each chapter is separated into different InDesign documents forming a book.

      I made some changes to one chapter, and now the last story ends on the left hand page instead of the right page as before.
      All the following chapters have been set to start either on the right or left page, and they dont automatically adapt when I make a change like the one I just mentioned.

      Because of that, a white page now exists between the end of my lastly edited chapter and the following one.
      How can I have all the chapters to flow automatically when I make changes which impacts the number of pages, and whether it ends / starts on the left or right hand page ?

      Johanna, I don’t know how to do that automatically, but I found these links that may help.

      Hello Colleen, thank you for your answer. I checked it out, and if I understand it correctly there is a code I can add to remove the last blank pages. I could do that, but then how would I adjust it in my next book chapter ?

      To further explain my issue here, I have several InDesign documents, all of them together constituting a book.
      Each of my InDesign document is a book chapter, which doesn’t always start on the same page: sometimes it starts on the right page, sometimes the left one, depending on which page the previous chapter finished on.

      So, when I made big modifications in one chapter, which now finishes on a left page, I have my right page blank. I could delete this right page which is blank with the code in the link you gave me, but then I still have the problem that my next chapter still starts on a left page. I guess my question is how can I have my next chapter to start on a right page (and have all my other following chapters to move along as well) ? What will happen at print if I have an end of chapter on page left and a beginning of chapter also on page left: will it print two digital pages on the same physical page?

      I just checked online and found that I could change the page number of my 1st chapter page to an uneven number so it would move to the right page instead of left. I could manually repeat the procedure with the other chapters. Is there a quicker / automatic way to do this though ?

      Also, what would happen if to avoid having to do this all over again if I make new changes in a chapter, I would just turn off the “facing pages” boxe to make it a single page document ? Would my book still print on double sides ?
