Does it need to be leveled side-to-side or front-to-rear?

If side-to-side, you do that when you first park the trailer on the campsite by determining which side is low using a level (I like one that is 24" long.) and then drive the trailer up on to boards or the orange leveling blocks. Obviously, this is done while the trailer is still hooked up to the tow vehicle.

Once the vehicle is level side-to-side to your satisfaction, you chock the wheels and drop the trailer from the tow vehicle.

Then, using the nose jack or landing gear, you raise or lower the nose until the trailer is level front-to-rear.

When you are satisfied with the leveling, lower the stabilizers to firm things up. NOTE: THEY ARE NOT LEVELING JACKS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO RAISE AN ENTIRE SIDE OR END OF A TRAILER WITH THE LEVELING JACKS.

Then run out the slides, drop the awning, and pour a cold one.

When we first got our Montana, we went dry camping and almost before we could get backed in everyone came to look at it. We were standing outside and the BF was using the remote moving the slides out so people could go in, and this guy had his mouth hanging and looking bewildered. He said how are you doing that with both of you standing here? I almost died laughing. Of course the BF grinned from ear to ear and said by this and showed him the remote.
