You can only edit your eBook so much with Adobe InDesign. If you need a bit more control, use Sigil—an epub editor that allows you to edit the code directly. And, it's free!!
In this video, I specifically show you how to edit the Table of Contents and device-side navigation, how to change a global CSS style, and how to add a manual page break with only a single inserted line of code!

Page break-after code (!!IMPORTANT!! Angle brackets aren't allowed in YouTube descriptions, so switch out # with open angle brackets and * with closed angle brackets):
#p style="page-break-after: always;"*#hr style="opacity:0" /*#/p*

Page break-before code (!!IMPORTANT!! Angle brackets aren't allowed in YouTube descriptions, so switch out # with open angle brackets and * with closed angle brackets):
#p style="page-break-before: always;"*#hr style="opacity:0" /*#/p*
