How to add another page on Google Docs on a computer

Simply place your cursor where you want the page break to begin and press Ctrl + Enter to add a new page.

If you’re using a Mac, press Command + Enter.

And there you have it — Google Docs will start a new page. 

Be careful not to confuse “Page break” with “Section break (continuous)” or “Section break (new page)“.

Section breaks split your document into sections so that you can seamlessly apply different formatting, layouts, and other significant changes to your document.

On the other hand, page breaks simply push information onto the next page.
