## SectionCollection class

A collection of [Section](../section/) objects in the document.
To learn more, visit the [Working with Sections](https://docs.aspose.com/words/nodejs-net/working-with-sections/) documentation article.




### Remarks

A Microsoft Word document can contain multiple sections. To create a section in a Microsoft Word,
select the Insert/Break command and select a break type. The break specifies whether section starts
on a new page or on the same page.

Programmatically inserting and removing sections can be used to customize documents produced
during mail merge. If a document needs to have different content or parts of the
content depending on some criteria, then you can create a "master" document that contains
multiple sections and delete some of the sections before or after mail merge.

### Examples

Shows how to add and remove sections in a document.

```js
let doc = new aw.Document();
let builder = new aw.DocumentBuilder(doc);

builder.write("Section 1");
builder.insertBreak(aw.BreakType.SectionBreakNewPage);
builder.write("Section 2");

expect(doc.getText().trim()).toEqual("Section 1\u000cSection 2");

// Delete the first section from the document.
doc.sections.removeAt(0);

expect(doc.getText().trim()).toEqual("Section 2");

// Append a copy of what is now the first section to the end of the document.
let lastSectionIdx = doc.sections.count - 1;
let newSection = doc.sections.at(lastSectionIdx).clone();
doc.sections.add(newSection);

expect(doc.getText().trim()).toEqual("Section 2\u000cSection 2");
```
