The four bottom most layers are for content like title block text, page numbers and borders. The sheet size is Arch E and the documents get folded in a specific way so the Fold Lines are a guide to help me avoid putting important information where it might disappear when the paper has been folded and unfolded too many times. Note the layers that are shared and not shared.

I'm trying to create a custom cover page template. My goal is to have the custom cover page available within a base template so that others at my company can use it if needs be. I am using the 2023 Version 16.75 on an up-to-date Mac.
Currently, I cannot figure out how to have the cover page show up in the insert cover page function as I've seen others able to do in older versions of Word. The only options are to delete the cover page or insert one of the built-in cover pages.

Wessel van Berkel, Digital Designer at Foleon, works closely with customers daily to educate and help them create engaging Docs. Here are his five essential guidelines to help you create stunning cover pages that grab readers' attention.
When designing a piece of content, it can be easy to overlook the cover page and put all your design power into the bulk of the content. Cover pages are often seen as an afterthought, which is a big mistake.
It sets the tone of your content. It hints at what your content is about and is the first thing your reader is confronted with. Also, a good cover shows professionalism, credibility, and impact. All things you want to make your content engaging.
Many elements come into play for something to be considered good design. There are twelve basic principles of design to consider: contrast, balance, emphasis, proportion, hierarchy, repetition, rhythm, pattern, white space, movement, variety, and unit.
One of the most critical steps to creating stand-out cover pages is clearly defining the purpose of your content and the target audience. What are you creating, and who is it for? Ask yourself, 'What message do I want to convey?' and 'Who am I trying to reach?'
Experiment with font pairings to create a balance between guiding the reader's attention and evoking the desired emotions. Avoid using too many fonts or overcrowding the page with text. In the example above, the font is more elegant but still clean and aesthetically pleasing. Check out the Foleon Doc by Ideal Standard.
Experiment with different layouts and arrangements until you find the perfect balance that captivates the viewer's attention. A balanced composition ensures that your cover page looks visually appealing and professional.
This cover page is designed to grab attention and set the stage for an unforgettable concert experience. This example leverages video in the background to amplify the atmosphere of the live performance.
If you already have your own cover image, double click on it and it will replace the current cover image insert it into your document. Note the required page size (depending on the template or page size your ebook will be) or Search for a new image.
Tip 1: To get the best results use a simple search word like 'Lake' 'Sky' 'Water'.
Tip 2: Choose an image that is simple in design so that your ebook heading will standout. For example: if your heading is in a light color, then choose a darker background.
I have a new document with a single page (front cover) followed by two page spreads (facing) and end with a single page (back cover). How do I create a front and back cover with a perfect bound spine and get rid of the single pages? Similar to creating an inside spread except its for the cover. Missing feature or is it normally like this?
As for the inside spreads, the first single page is considered as page 1 on the right side when it is opened. For a magazine the inside of the front cover and the right side is sometime consider as a spread or page 1 and 2.
Have you tried applying a master page style for the first and last page (i.e. exterior cover) of the document that adds the additional gutter needed for the binding? You'd probably want to create a second master page for the interior, if any text is on the interior side of the cover.
Surely they will add the ability to have single pages that will butt up to each other, it's such an easy way to work for doing book covers, multifold leaflets, even manually paginating a document which is the usual request from cd manufacturers for a cd booklets - the guides workaround just isn't flexible enough, what happens if a client changes the weight of the paper stock for a book? it's just a couple of clicks away to widen the spine, whereas the single page guide method means moving all the items on the page
I would say this to Serif, again, go back to the drawing board and start consulting with professional design agencies and freelance designers to get a real world view of your software. You should never have put this out as a general public beta yet.
I have printed several perfect bound books using CreateSpace, and I normally keep the internal pages as a single PDF, and the cover (page size *2 + spine + bleeds) as a separate PDF (oftentimes cover in Illustrator or Photoshop -now AP or AD), and do the internals in InDesign with facing pages printed out to single pages in the PDF.
Just because you don't agree with a way to do it is no reason to spread misinformation. Creating a book cover prior to InDesigns multi-page size feature was not cumbersome at all, it was a fairly standard way of creating it.
Yes that was how it used to be done but it was always subject to possible errors but setting out with InDesign has been a much more straight forward, quicker and safer way to do it. I'm not sure where you get this "misinformation" cheap jibe from, I think you must be watching too many Russian spy films!!!. What I have said is completely correct, I have not mislead the originator of this thread, using guides IS the only way to mark out a template at the present time and yes, I have not had any response from Serif on this issue to say this an oversight which will be rectified soon or before commercial launch, it might have allayed some of the negativity. I have always been very supportive of Serif and the Affinity range up until now and I have always given positive feedback but I feel that they are losing their way abit and throwing things out too soon without proper consultation with the professional community which to me seems to be the case with Publisher as there are so many glaring omissions that should have been there on release of the first beta. This topic is something that has been raised by a number of others in this forum which seems to concur with my views. Maybe you have time on your hands to lay designs out the old way but I do not in an ever faster moving design environment. Don't bother replying, I think we need to leave things right here. I won't be revisiting this thread as I have said all I need to on this issue.
