Sections & reordering

Add, remove and drag sections to change what a document includes and in what order — Waxe starts you with the right structure, and you tailor it to the job.

What sections are

A document is built from sections — the named parts that give it shape, like an introduction, scope, pricing or terms. Waxe drafts the right set of sections for the document type, so a proposal arrives structured like a proposal and a contract like a contract.

Sections are how you change a document at the level of structure rather than wording. Move them, drop the ones a job doesn't need, and add the ones it does.

Reordering sections

Order changes the argument. Leading with outcomes versus credentials, or pricing early versus late, can shift how a document reads.

  1. Open the sections view

    Find the list of the document's sections in the editor.

  2. Drag to reorder

    Move a section up or down to change where it appears.

  3. Watch it reflow

    The document repaginates automatically so the new order sits cleanly on the page.

Adding and removing sections

Not every job needs every section, and some need an extra one. You're in control of which appear.

  • Remove a section a particular document doesn't need.
  • Add a section for something specific to this job.
  • Ask Waxe to draft the content of a new section so you're not starting from blank.

Let Waxe fill the gaps

Adding a section is easiest when Waxe drafts it for you. Tell it what the section is for and it writes copy that fits the document's type and tone.

Reshape the structure yourself; let Waxe fill it with the right words.

You preview anything Waxe proposes and accept or reject it, so the document only changes when you're happy. See Surgical edits.

Good habits

  • Decide the structure first, then refine the wording — it's faster than the other way round.
  • Keep section names clear; they often double as the document's headings.
  • Reuse a structure that works by carrying deal context across documents — see Reuse client & deal context.

Frequently asked questions

Does removing a section delete its content for good?

It removes that section from the document. As with other edits, you can undo it — but if you've moved on, treat removal as deliberate and re-add the section if you need it back.

Can I add a section that isn't normally part of this document type?

Yes. You can add a section for anything a job needs, and ask Waxe to draft its content so it matches the rest of the document.

Will reordering sections change the page count?

It can, because content reflows to fit. The document repaginates automatically — see Pagination & page breaks.

Is reordering the same as editing text?

No. Reordering changes structure — which parts appear and in what order — while typing changes wording within a part. See Editing text & structure.
