While applying citizenship online, do we upload all the pages of the passport or just the biographical pages ?

As per instructions while applying on the website, they say Upload the bio page(s) of this document,

But for paper applicants, we have to send all the stamped pages ?

Here is my solution:
  1. Upload Bio pages of the passport in Travel documents or passports section
  2. Upload the entire passport copy under "Other Documents" section
  3. OR Can I just upload the entire passport pages in Travel documents or passports section after reducing the file size
Is this okay as I expect them to ask for all the copies of passport later during the application process ?

Well, yeah, it is ok to add those in the "other documents" section.
IRCC may or may not use them but it doesn't harm to add these there I suppose.
What's for sure : follow the requirement. The online applications asks for the bio pages only, so only put the bio pages in the Travel Documents or Passports section.

Any update on this issue. Do we need to upload all the stamped pages of passport, or only the bio page is enough, as online application only asks for bio page........?

just bio page where your photo, name is there, attached back side of passport in the same attachment.
no need for other pages.

My country passport has only 1 bio page. So uploaded that page is enough I think. But, for other documentions upload (optional) section, I want to upload rest of the passport pages. My question is that whether I need to upload only those pages which have stamps (or any entry), or should I upload entire passport booklet (i.e. including the blank pages as well which don't have any stamp or any entry ) ?

I mean, you're sending additional documentation, which is by default optional.
The strict answer to your question is : do whatever you want, since nothing here is "needed".
The practical answer, the one you're probably looking for : Usually, IRCC asks for every single page if they ask for a passport copy, so, you may want to include the blank ones too :)

Hi, my questions is that --- In the "Other documents" section, should I upload biopage + all stamped pages of passport or the whole passport booklet (including the blank pages as well)
