Using Guides on Pages

How can I add persistent guides on Pages to added pages of the same document automatically? I am trying to create a template for business cards and I would like to add images and text on the backside of the cards, so I need the same guides on the second page. Please advice. Thank you!

Guides are a per-page implementation and do not span multiple pages, so you will need to configure them for each page in your template. Rulers do not save to a template, so you will likely need to enable them when using the template in a new document.


I also enable all of the selections for Alignment Guides in Pages Preferences > Rulers, as their automatic appearance to help align things also helps in document work.
