: Extend Slug beyond 5 inches Working in InDesign CC 2015 and I wonder if there is a way to enlarge the slug area beyond the default 6". In this case, I'm using the page size to create iPhone

What you should do is have overlapping pages.
I have attached an images that shows what you need to do -


Document with 2 pages (NOT facing)
Uncheck 2 V-marks in pages panel window (right red box).
If your pages aren't facing you can now drag them next to each other as shown (middle red box).
Only then, with the move tool (left red box) move page #2 exactly on page #1 spot. You can drag or use X/Y values. They should appear as "one" now.
With that same tool you can change the pages size as you wish (top bar)
It's best to have page #1 the bigger and "bottom" one - If needed just switch between them in page panel window.
You're done - BTW you can set margins separately for each page - My advice is 0px to "outer" page and 20px to "inner" page (or whichever value).
I also added bleed for extra space if needed (remarks or whatever).
When you save, choose between only page #1 or only #2 or #1-2.
You can duplicate this 2 pages set for more similar screen usage.


Please tell me if that worked well and fit your needs.

Actually dropping your Indesign file into another InDesign file is incredibly useful, and worth the extra step IMHO, especially for that particular workflow. Not only does it give you the extra artboard you need, it means you can re-use the same screen mockup in multiple places, and they are all linked to the same 'master', making changes easy. For example, let's say you have one screen that might have more than one possible user flow. You could actually place this screen into another document multiple times, allowing you to markup the different flows. Then if the design changes, you only need to edit your 'master' the once, and update the links.
