This is per-document setting. So when you create a document, and set it to two-page view, and save it, this document will open two-page next time, both for you, and for other people. But other documents, having a different layout setting, will use their own setting. Thus, if you had created lots of documents in two-page layout, all they will have that setting individually. When used *normally*, this feature allows you to have some documents in book view, some in single page view, and that would be defined by your preference for them. You may have different kinds of documents, with multiple page sizes, orientations, some for reading/reference, some for day-to-day editing ... and using same layout for all is not OK. But of course, if the feature was used incorrectly - e.g., when you've set it without clear understanding, then created tens of documents, and now want all of them to look single-page, you might feel like "give me an option to undo my previous mistake for all at once". Still, that is not a use case that needs such an option - it's a user mistake. Note also, that if you created a template with such a setting, new documents created from that template will all have that setting applied. Hope that helps. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
