CLM Document Generation: Suppress Page and Section Breaks

Hi all,

I am setting up document generation template in CLM and am running into an issue where multiple blank pages are included in document generation.

My company utilizes a Master Services Agreement (MSA) and Statement of Work (SOW) agreement format. In our document generation, the MSA is always generated, and SOW’s are generated based on user input in the intake form. Each SOW is unique, and is pulled into generation through merge fields throughout the master document. In order to number our documents correctly, we have inserted page breaks and section breaks throughout the document. 

So, for sake of demonstration, our template generation document has the following format:

MSA

[conditional select SOW 1]

page break - section break

[conditional select SOW 2]

page break - section break

[conditional select SOW 3]

page break - section break

etc.

The issue I am running into is when a user generates an agreement and Selects SOW 1 and SOW 3, there are multiple blank pages included between SOW 1 and SOW 3, likely due to the software picking up on the page breaks and section breaks. 

Is there a way to suppress these fields? For example, if selection for SOW 2 = no, then hide all text within the start conditional and end conditional?

Open to other suggestions on how to solve this. Thank you all in advance for your responses.
