A dialog that is used to help the user to specify a page size

Add a Page to the project

Overview

From this dialog, you can select the kind of page that you want to add to the current project, and what size the page should have.

Open from main menu: Pages -> Add a page...
Open by shortcut key: Ctrl+Insert
Open by clicking the page symbol on the page bar ("Page Bar").

First choose what kind of page you require:
- Display page: contains the user interface as shown to the end-user
- Paper page: contains the layout on pages for printing or export to documents

Then, in the drop-down selection list a number of predefined page sizes are listed. Select one and then press the Select button.

Details

By default, the Select button shows a page of the kind and size of the page that is currently visible in the designer, so that it is more easy to add multiple pages of the same size.
