# Page Layout

Last updated July 6, 2026

## Paged vs. Pageless

Revise can display your document as discrete pages - like a printed sheet with margins - or in a continuous, pageless flow with no page breaks. Pick whichever suits what you're writing: paged mode is ideal for documents headed for print or PDF, while pageless mode is great for notes and web content.

### Page Layout Settings

Open Page Layout from the Layout menu to control how the page looks:

- Page size - Letter, A4, and other standard sizes.
- Orientation - portrait or landscape.
- Margins - set the top, bottom, left, and right margins.

You can also save your preferred layout as the default for new documents.

## Headers & Footers

Every page has a header and footer band you can edit right on the page: double-click the top or bottom margin and start typing. Each band has three zones - left, center, and right - that grow and shrink to fit their content, and all the usual formatting works there: fonts, bold, colors, selection, undo. Press Tab to hop between zones, and click anywhere in the body to finish.

You can also edit both bands from Headers & Footers in the Layout menu, which additionally lets you give the first page its own header and footer (handy for title pages).

### Page Numbers

Page numbers are header/footer content. Add one anywhere with Insert → Page # while editing a band, or type the tokens `{PAGE}` and `{PAGES}` in the Headers & Footers dialog for formats like "Page 3 of 12". The number updates live on every page.

The [AI agent](https://revise.io/help/ai-agent) can set all of this up for you - try "put the document title in the header and page numbers bottom right".

Tip: Insert a [page break](https://revise.io/help/inserting-content) to push the following content onto a fresh page in paged mode.
