Use the Page Data palette on the Editions main tab to add new pages, or to modify the data of the selected pages.

If the palette is not displayed, on the Window menu, point to Palettes and then click Page Data. The palette appears in the right sidebar. If the sidebar is not expanded, click the expander button button_small_right close to the top right corner of the main window.

If the palette fields are empty, click Fill form before doing anything else. This populates the palette with the default data.
