Break Apart Docs

Use Pipeline's Break Apart tool to split a large doc into separate docs or extract pages from a doc.

Introduction

With Pipeline’s Break Apart tool, you can split a large doc into separate smaller docs or extract a single page or section from a doc.

Break Apart makes it easy, fast, and seamless for agents and admins to: 

  • Split up multiple docs that were uploaded as one.
  • Create a separate doc or extract a section to share with a colleague or client.
  • Duplicate docs or sections of docs to be used specially or sent to specific people.

Break Apart a Doc

Break apart a doc to split a large doc into separate docs or extract pages from a doc.
Who Can Do This? 
Admins can break apart all docs.

  2. Click the doc's gear, then [Break Apart].
  3. Preview the doc to determine where to split it:
      
    • Adjust the size of the page thumbnails from the upper right corner.
