# Horizontal Lines

Horizontal lines are visual separators that help organise content and improve readability in your document. They span the full width of the page wherever you insert them.

## Insert a horizontal line

Add a horizontal line to separate sections of your document:

1. Place your cursor where you want the line to appear.
2. On the toolbar, click **Insert Horizontal Line**.

The line will appear at the cursor position, spanning the full width of the page.

## Remove a horizontal line

Delete a horizontal line from your document:

1. Click to position your cursor at the line.
2. Press **Backspace** or **Delete** on your keyboard.

The line will be removed from your document.

## When to use horizontal lines

**Good use cases:**
- Separating major sections of a document
- Before and after important notices
- Creating visual breaks in long documents
- Between different topics or subjects

**Avoid using when:**
- Content sections are already clearly separated by headings
- The document is very short
- White space alone would suffice

> **Tip**
>
> Use horizontal lines sparingly. Too many lines can create visual clutter. For most documents, a simple line between major sections is sufficient.
