(!) This guideline is only applied for the title in Page-by-Page Format.
By nature, every chapter file we receive will have different conditions due to its nature (for printing, for digital consumption, etc); therefore, when importing to CMS, it's necessary to categorize images inside a chapter into correct page type to ensure pleasant reading experiences for readers.
For any title that in Page-by-Page format, images are divided into 3 types: Single, Double and Extra
Definition of each page type: About Page by Page Format
Since all pages are set as "Single" by DEFAULT, this guideline focuses on how to identify "Double" and "Extra" pages.
There're some merged pages that need to be marked as Double so that the app can display it better. Those often are Chapter Cover or Artwork from titles that are originally for printing.
