Customize headers and footers in Google Docs

July 31, 2019

Google has announced more options to control and customize headers and footers in Google Docs. 

Previously, you could set a single header or single footer for your entire document, with an option to make it different on the first page only. Now you can:

  • define a specific header or footer for each section of your document
  • use different headers and footers on odd and even page numbers

According to Google, this feature should begin showing up in U-M Google on August 1 and should take 1 to 3 days to become fully visible.
