# Je veux rédiger ma thèse à l’aide d’un modèle de la galerie Overleaf, mais il y a beaucoup de pages blanches avant les remerciements, la déclaration, la table des matières, avant chaque chapitre, etc. ! Comment puis-je supprimer ces pages blanches ?

Les pages vierges ou blanches sont dues au fait que le réglage par défaut pour les livres (et de nombreux modèles de thèse dans la Galerie) est en mode recto verso, chaque chapitre commençant sur une page de droite (« recto »), comme c’est l’usage pour la plupart des livres imprimés par des professionnels. Pour supprimer ces pages vides, il suffit d’ajouter l’ `oneside` option (ou, à la place, la `openany` option) à la déclaration de classe de votre document.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://overleaf-pro.ayaka.space/latex/fr/questions-et-reponses/63-i-want-to-write-my-thesis-using-a-template-from-the-overleaf-gallery-but-there-are-many-empty-pag.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
