Insert section breaks — AI Prompts for Google Docs

The four heights

The same task, four distances: today's deadline, the next reviewer, the stuck moment, the pattern.

I have a report for the curriculum committee due Thursday. Insert a section break (next page) at the end of the executive summary and another section break before the appendix so I can change header content in each section. Check that the main text keeps the current page numbering sequence.

Improve — make it easier to accept

Before I send this to the curriculum committee, make it easy for reviewers to see where sections change. Add section breaks at the end of the executive summary and before the appendix, set headers so the executive summary shows 'Executive Summary' and the main section shows the chapter title, and warn me if changing sections will reset numbering or require different header formatting.

Decide — diagnose the stuck moment

I need the introduction to show chapter titles in the header and the appendix to show 'Appendix A'…

I need different headers in the introduction and appendix but the whole doc shares one header.

I need the introduction to show chapter titles in the header and the appendix to show 'Appendix A' but I don't know whether adding section breaks will alter page numbers or mess with existing header content. Who will be affected and what should I do to implement section breaks safely so headers change only where I want them?

Become — change the pattern

I repeatedly break headers trying to set different running titles for sections

Across reports I keep losing header consistency when I split the document into sections for new running titles. I spend an hour undoing broken page numbers or duplicated headers. What habit or checklist should I adopt so creating section breaks never scrambles headers or numbering?

Every task here came from the work, not from a feature list — which is why the prompts name what you want done and never the button that does it. The tool changes; the work does not.
