Maybe the fail in the tutorial had nothing to do with the absence of page view feature in Sigil. All I know is that he was looking at a blank window ( which I believed to be page view) and I was looking at a box with html. Here is the tutorial:

Everything is going fine until 3:45 and then I get an error message: "You can not insert a file at this position." |
This works best with two monitors. Open Sigil, hit F10 to bring up the preview windows and drag it to the second monitor.
Basically, I only added two html files when I started the process. I configured one for the cover and the other for the internal pages. I then added the images to Images in Sigil (right click on the Images folder in the Browser and add existing files). At that point, I right clicked on the second html file in Browser and clicked copy. I then repeated the process until I had enough copies and then modified the image file name in the html file. I also added the <h3 class="hidden">chapter title</h3> in the first html file in each block to make generating the ToC easier.
If I had had to do the entire book, I would have looked at one of Sigil's plugins called
Plugin to insert and wrap an image with SVG to automate the insert and wrap process.
