Vellum 2.8 is here! With this release, you can insert page breaks, create an ebook call-to-action, and choose from updated options for Kindle output.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Page Breaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With Vellum 2.8, you can now insert a Page Break<\/a> within a chapter. Use page breaks to start each section on a new page, or end a chapter with a page of discussion questions or items for reflection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some cases, you may only want to keep a section title from the bottom of the page. If you\u2019ve used an Alignment Block for the title, you can now enable Keep With Next Paragraph<\/a> to ensure the title stays on the same page as the text that follows (just as a Subhead<\/a> will).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ebook Calls-to-Action<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you end your final chapter with a quick call-to-action (like a newsletter signup or a request for a review), you may want to restrict this to your ebook edition. You can now mark text like this as Ebook Only<\/strong> using the new Include In menu<\/a> for Alignment Blocks.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
