# Installation

⚠️ New import paths

Starting with version 42.0.0, we changed the format of import paths. This guide uses the new, shorter format. Refer to the Packages in the legacy setup guide if you use an older version of CKEditor 5.

After installing the editor, add the feature to your plugin list and toolbar configuration:

import { ClassicEditor, PageBreak } from 'ckeditor5';

ClassicEditor
    .create( document.querySelector( '#editor' ), {
        plugins: [ PageBreak, /* ... */ ],
        toolbar: [ 'pageBreak', /* ... */ ],
    } )
    .then( /* ... */ )
    .catch( /* ... */ );

Here are some useful CKEditor 5 features that you can use together with the page break plugin for an all-around paged editing experience:

  • The pagination feature allows you to see where page breaks would be after the document is exported to PDF or to Word.
  • The export to Word feature will allow you to generate editable, paged .docx files out of your editor-created content.
  • The export to PDF feature will allow you to generate portable, paged PDF files out of your editor-created content.

# Common API

The PageBreak plugin registers:

  • the UI button component ('pageBreak'),
  • the 'pageBreak' command implemented by PageBreakCommand.

You can execute the command using the editor.execute() method:

// Inserts a page break into the selected content.
editor.execute( 'pageBreak' );

We recommend using the official CKEditor 5 inspector for development and debugging. It will give you tons of useful information about the state of the editor such as internal data structures, selection, commands, and many more.
