View multiple random pages of a Pages document concurrently

This may not be possible, and a general search hasn't yielded any helpful results. In Pages, is it possible to view multiple disconnected (non-subsequent) pages in the same document concurrently? I'm not referring to the two-page option in the Zoom menu, as this function only displays two connected (subsequent) pages (e.g., page 1 on the left and page 2 on the right).


For example, I'm working with text on page 100, but I want to simultaneously see the text from page 2 of the same document. No matter how far apart they are, I need to see two random pages of my choosing from the same document, such as viewing pages 2 and 100 together. On the two-page layout, I would need to see page 2 on the left and page 100 on the right, as if each page "column" scrolled independently of one another. This would be more efficient than using bookmarks or the search function to jump between two random points inside the document. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks!

Pages currently doesn't support splitting the view of a single document. If you only need to edit within one window, I suggest duplicating your document. This way, you can open both documents simultaneously and place the windows side by side.

After finishing your work, you can delete the duplicate. Just make sure all your changes are made in the original document, not the duplicate.
