Select your spread layout, with two options available: One per page or One per spread.

**One per page:** Displays one image on each page, allowing two images to appear across a spread. This is ideal for showing contrasting scenes, before-and-after moments, or two related perspectives side by side.

**One per spread:** Displays one image across the entire spread, creating a larger, full-focus illustration or scene that spans both pages.\
\
⚠️ Once your book has been designed, the spread layout can no longer be changed. If you return to the "more options", you’ll notice that the Spread layout setting is locked.
