Many printable documents are made to leave some blank pages in them. Normally, these empty pages will be used for writing a note, stamp, and other things that can’t be done with a word-processing program, like Google Docs.

But how exactly we can create an empty page in Google Docs? After all, a new page is usually created once we run out of space. Thankfully, that’s not always the case. We create a page that is left empty while another page beneath it is filled with content.

Here’s how to add a blank page on Google Docs.

1. First, open the document on Google Docs.
