Manage Sections in a CDM Document

After adding sections to your document, you can manage them to control structure, visibility, and collaboration. You can lock, duplicate, add subsections, add insights, make sections conditional, reorder, edit, or remove sections.

When to Manage Sections

  • Manage sections when you need to finalize content and prevent further changes by locking them.
  • Add section insights to provide important notes or warnings for collaborators.
  • Use conditional sections to show or hide parts of the document based on specific criteria.
  • Add subsections to organize detailed information within a main section.
  • Duplicate sections to reuse similar content without retyping.
  • Remove sections that are no longer relevant or needed.
  • Reorder sections when the document structure changes or needs improvement.
