The HireAra platform automatically inserts page breaks based on layout and content. However, you have full control over how sections appear across pages using two types of tools:
✂️ Manual page breaks – force a page break at a specific point
🧩 Smart section break settings – control how sections behave when breaking across pages
✂️ Manually Insert a Page Break
Use this when you want to force a page to end at a specific point in a document or template.
How to Insert a Manual Page Break
Open the document or template
CV Editor: for individual documents
Template Builder: for admins creating or editing templates
Click where you want the page break
Place your cursor at the desired break point.Insert the break
Click the Page Break button (found in the toolbar)
Tip
To delete a manual page break in the CV editor, place your cursor just after the break and press Backspace
🧠 Control Automatic Page Breaks with Section Settings
To improve readability and avoid awkward breaks in the middle of sections (e.g. Experience, Education), use the new smart controls:
Never Break Section (Toggle)
Keeps the entire section on a single page
Ideal for shorter sections or when grouping is important
Prevent Orphaned Lines (Slider)
Lets you define the minimum number of lines that must appear before a break
Prevents lonely lines at the top or bottom of a page
(e.g. if set to 3 lines, the system won’t allow just 1 or 2 lines to be left before or after a break)
These controls are available only for our admin users creating templates in the template builder.
