Section breaks in Google Docs enable you to divide your document into sections so that you can format each section differently. You can easily add section breaks in your Google document easily. However, sometimes you may need to delete these section breaks.
Removing section breaks in Google Docs is a little awkward because the editor offers no single button for it. Even so, a handful of quick steps will clear them out. The trick is to make the breaks visible first, since they stay hidden by default and are hard to spot otherwise.
1) First, open your Google Docs document in which you want to remove the section break.
2) Now press on the View option from the top menu bar and then click on “Show section break.” After doing so, you should see a tick sign beside the option.
3) This will show the section breaks on your document. Place your cursor before the section break that you want to delete
4 Press the Delete key on your keyboard.
That’s it, this will remove the section break. You have successfully deleted the section break from your document.
Conclusion
While there is no one-click option, getting rid of section breaks in Google Docs is far from hard. Walk through the steps above and you can tidy up your document in no time.
