Hi Michaela re pt 2 & 3 If you set up the scale and rotation angles as fields in the coverage dataset for each view, this means you can use the *data defined functions* to help control the orientation and extent of your maps. There is a bit of back and forth between the layout and the data to get the right numbers for both, but well worth it! The North Arrow will automatically move according to the rotation if it is linked with the map. Don't forget to use your *variables *as well!
