Root Cause: The code was using array index instead of the actual database page_number to update pages. When pages were deleted, the remaining pages had mismatched indices vs. page numbers, causing updates to target the wrong records.
Fix: Updated BookDataContext.jsx to always use page.page_number from the database object instead of the array index.
Files Modified:
src/context/BookDataContext.jsx(lines 103, 138)
Root Cause: Same as above - index mismatch after page deletions.
Fix: The removePage function already used page_number correctly, but the confusion came from the labeling.
Root Cause: The system was labeling pages with "Cover" or "Spread 0", which confused the numbering.
Fix:
- Removed all "Cover" references
- Changed all spread labels to use 1-based numbering (Spread 1, Spread 2, etc.)
- Updated
PageManager.jsxto display "Page 1, Page 2..." instead of "Page 0, Page 1..."

Root Cause: Users clicking "View Demo" were getting stuck in read-only mode even after logging in.
Fix: Updated AdminPage.jsx to explicitly disable Demo Mode when successfully authenticated.

-
Creating a New Book: Books start with 0 pages. No automatic "Cover" is created.
-
Adding Pages:
- Click "Add" to create pages
- They are labeled "Spread 1", "Spread 2", etc.
- They display as "Page 1", "Page 2", etc. in the UI
-
Importing PDFs:
- All PDF pages are converted to spreads
- Paired as: Pages 1-2 → Spread 1, Pages 3-4 → Spread 2, etc.
- No special "Cover" spread is created
-
Deleting Pages:
- Any page can be deleted, including the first one
- When you delete Page 1, Page 2 automatically becomes the new Page 1
- All page numbers shift naturally
-
Updating Images:
- Upload works correctly even after deleting pages
- Images persist and don't revert
- No "Cover Spread" - All pages are treated equally
- 1-based numbering - Spreads start from 1 (Spread 1, Spread 2...)
- Clean UI labels - "Page 1, Page 2, Page 3..."
- Flexible management - Add, remove, reorder pages freely
- Persistent updates - Images and changes save correctly
Everything is now working as a standard, flexible page management system!
