Thank you, Walt.farell. I've watched the relevant video. The facing pages are definitely a adequate solution! I will absolutely try it and after the result of the reformatting of the first part (Adobe) I will decide which way to go. In a pinch, the manual page number assignment would still remain.
In the future, I will definitely use the facing pages.
But unfortunately, they are hard to find in the book "AFFINITY PUBLISHER WORKBOOK" or not at all :)).
Is there a better book?
Greetings from Berlin and many thanks

You can do that with a Facing Page document:

This is just my opinion but that method does not sound like professional work.

This idea was supposed to allow a picture to span two pages.

Again, please explain why you can't simply use Facing Pages, rather than a single wider page with two text frames.

The effect should be almost identical, for any purpose I can think of.

The problem is that the first part of the book was made up by a professional using an Adobe program. He created this format with the two pages on one physical page. That's why I adopted this format for the second part in order to have less work. so I can focus on the layout of the second part. If I were to reformat everything to this one-page format, the risk seems to be quite high, since e.g. his pictures are not anchored in the text as affinity needs it.

Sure. You have an article on page 3 that runs out of room and is continued on page 5 (or 6, 7, 23, 58, whatever). You can put "Continued on page <Next Frame Page Number>" at the end of the article's text frame on page 3, and you get the number of where it continues automatically filled in.

Thank you very much. Now I understand the idea of this variables

 Many thanks to walt.farell for the explanations. Now I understand the meaning of these variables... and that they are of no use to me :))
I "only" need a counter for the number of frames. Maybe there will be in the next version !! Warm regards from Berlin and have a nice sunday!

Thanks, but unfortunately, I can't change this layout that I have two book pages on one "AFFINITY page" because  it is so prescribed by the first part.
What I would be interested in is:
What is actually the difference between a normal page number and a frame page number.
Does the frame page number count the number of frames continuously, or what is it used for?
Thank you and have a nice weekend!

Thank you everyone for responding so quickly.
I probably have a logic problem.
My master page consists of two text frames. Each of these text frames should have its own page number. That's why I've now put the 'previous frame page number' in the field for the page number. But he doesn't count on the right side? In this case, both sides receive the page number 238
If I use the 'Subsequent frame page number' on the right side, I get the page number 240. But 239 would be correct.
If I use the "number of pages" I get 123, which corresponds to the number of double pages. I'm confused
Maybe you have another tip.
Many thanks and greetings from Berlin

Dear specialists,
I am writing a book with double pages. All have the same master page. There is a text frame on each page (means two textframe per double page)  (please see image).
Unfortunately, the following left page gets the same page numbering as the right page of the previous page.
I've tried all combinations, but I can't seem to get it right. But I'm also still a beginner. Maybe you can help me. Thanks very much!
