How to Remove Section Breaks
in Google Docs

Remove section breaks in Google Docs to create a smooth, uninterrupted flow of content throughout your document. This guide explains how to identify and remove unnecessary section breaks with ease.

  1. Open Your Document – Go to docs.google.com and open the document where the section break exists.

  2. Switch to Editing Mode – Make sure you’re in Editing mode (not Suggesting or Viewing) to make changes.

  3. Show Section Breaks – Scroll through your document and look for a big gap between pages. Section breaks can cause unusual spacing.

  4. Place Your Cursor Before the Break – Click just before the empty space or break line that separates two sections.

  5. Use Delete/Backspace

    • On Windows, press the Delete key.

    • On Mac, press the Backspace key.

    • This will remove the section break and join the two parts.

  6. Check Page Setup Settings – After removing the break, click “Format > Page setup” to ensure the margins and orientation are consistent throughout the doc.

  7. Repeat for Other Breaks – Scroll and repeat the process if your document has multiple section breaks.

  8. Done – Your Google Doc is now free of unwanted section breaks, and the content flows smoothly across pages!
