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.
Open the sections view
Find the list of the document's sections in the editor.
Drag to reorder
Move a section up or down to change where it appears.
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.
