How to Create a Pagebreak in Canva Docs

You can add a page break in Canva Docs at any point. A page break marks the end of one page and starts the next. You do not have to fill a page before moving on.

You can split one page into two even if the content is short. This lets you control layout and pacing. Here is how I add a page break cleanly.
