[scribus] autocreation of pages

Does anyone know if the capability to auto create new pages while flowing
text is available somewhere in scribus.This comes in super handy for me in
two scenarios while using Adobe InDesign.

1st Scenario: Instead of setting up a document and guessing at how many
pages it will need..ie. 40. then flowing the text, going in and deleting the
remaining unused pages every time. You can just choose to create pages as
necessary, so for instance if i have a 40 page document prepared and i go to
flow the text and it requires 42, it will just create two extra pages for me
and flow my text into them automatically.

2nd Scenario: let's say you've flowed all your text and your page count is
where you would like it, and then an advertisier phones in and would like
his photo plugged into your text flow but it doesn't quite fit, so you can
just add it and if it pushes it one more page then it is created for you
automatically.

Anyways, I'm fairly new to scribus but like it so far, just can't find a few
options so not sure if they're available or not, if anyone knows if this
auto page creation while flowing is available or not it would be
appreciated.

Thank you.
