Steps

For the cover: design the first page’s content, then put a page break after it.

Choose a background for the first page. See Add a background color or image, on every page or on one.

Set the header and footer to Every page except the first, and turn on Skip the first page in the page numbers.

For the closing page: on the last page of the design, choose Set as closing page.

A lock mark shows on the page.

Preview with a short record and a long one.

How the closing page behaves

When the document gets longer or shorter depending on the record:

The pinned elements and the background of the closing page print on the actual last page.
The other pinned elements stay before it. An element on a page the record no longer fills moves to the last page before the closing page, and that page’s background is removed.

The cover and the closing page show in the template’s thumbnail in the list.
