On this page

What This Does

New document clears the page and starts you on a fresh one, so you can keep separate pieces of writing apart instead of piling everything into one.


Who is This For?

This is helpful for:

  • Students with more than one assignment on the go
  • Anyone who keeps a separate page per subject, per class or per day
  • Anyone who has finished one thing and wants to start the next

Step 1: Save What You Have

If you want to keep what is on the page, save it first. Starting a new document clears the page.


Step 2: Click New Document

Click New document in the toolbar. It is the circled plus in the top toolbar.

The page clears and you can start typing.

Everything you saved before is still there. Open it again from Open document whenever you need it.
