What is the easiest way for me to extract one full page of a doc into a new one?

Only if you're really interested in getting involved at the core, here's the backstory:

But very simply, I am following the advice of a member regarding successful insertion of an image, and before I go through the trouble of doing my entire book, I want to make sure the method results in a publishable proof through KDP. However, KDP will only accept a manuscript that doesn't have a bunch of blank pages. So, I want to "copy" the page I'm working on right now into a new document. I'm seeing stuff about Master Pages and Scrapbook, both of which have a learning curve, which is fine, but there may be an easier way to do this (I'd hope so; it feels like it should be simple).

Can anyone advise on this? ty

if you don't need to edit the page you can export one page as an svg or image

how, please? I've  only had this program for 24 hours and really don't know my way around.

Have you tried selecting all the elements on the page with a bounding box? then group them, make sure the group is selected and select copy, then paste onto the new document.

Thanks to both of you. I found a workaround (just putting something on every 4th page or so) before I read the replies, but I will keep the pathways you recommended for future use, and I am sure the info will be helpful to others as well.

Scribus supports importing of pages from another document as far as I know?
