New “Hide Spread/Show Spread” feature: automatic page number adjustment
I was excited to discover the new 'Hide Spread/Show Spread' feature in InDesign. Page numbers on visible spreads don’t adjust automatically when other spreads are hidden in the document. Thus the feature becomes useless for any document that uses page numbers – at least within my workflow.

Yes, numbering skips hidden pages is a good thing, but inserting a ‘last page number’ text variable doesn't renumber the variable. That's a shame. For example, a 40-page document, pages 5 to 10 are hidden, the document numbering should indicate 1/35 but it remains at 1/40. Can you rectify this problem?

Just been stung on this, with a document that went to print. Had a spread that had two versions of one spread, and had hidden one.
