: How to create tab/flap pages in InDesign? I'm looking for help (tutorial) how to achieve tab/flap style pagination as seen on the attached picture. Any help much appreciated!

There's no built-in option for this.

These are done by hand after discussing with your printer, or using a cutting template provided by them (in some cases it is possible to actually get these from the printer). Generally you will need to design the pages as full, uncut sheets of paper, make sure the background of the area to be trimmed is the same as the color of each tab. Then you need to overlay a cutting shape (die line), basicly a vector line in a special overprint Pantone color to indicate how each tab needs to be cut. Here's a link to get you started researching this.
