Move content deliberately

Use Rearrange to change section order. Check the destination column as well as the order within it. Extend Group To Full Height changes the treatment of a group; it does not create more space for oversized content.

Check every page

Narrower columns make text wrap onto more lines. Review all pages and the download preview. If content becomes taller than a page, shorten or split it rather than assuming export will fix the overflow.

A small edit adds another page

  1. Check the last section on the previous page and the first section on the new page.
  2. Undo the last layout change to see whether column width, font size or spacing caused the move.
  3. Restore your preferred layout, then shorten repeated wording or reduce the specific gap that uses too much space.
  4. Check readability at normal size before downloading again.

The First page and Other pages margins are separate. If later pages have different margins, inspect both settings before changing every section's padding.
