3.1.2 Delete sections and headers from your document


You can delete unwanted sections or headers from the Content Management window.
Select what you do not want, right-click on it and select Delete.

In this video we will be demonstrating four examples of the Delete function.
  1. You cannot delete a mandatory section, i.e. Description, Claims or Abstract.
  2. If you delete a non-mandatory header, you may choose to delete the header of the section only OR to delete the section WITH CONTENT, as appropriate.
    If you delete the header only, the content is repositioned under the preceding header or section name (see Example 2 in the video).
  3. If you delete the Drawings section, you must also delete the content, i.e. the figures (see Example 3).
  4. If you click Delete on an individual item, e.g. the document title or a numbered claim, the item is removed immediately with no second prompt to confirm the deletion.
    The item cannot be retrieved, and there is no Undo option (see Example 4 in the video).
