Use Case
Use when a long deck needs clear wayfinding between narrative chapters.
When to Use
Between strategy, evidence, plan, appendix, or workshop sections.
When to Avoid
Avoid in very short decks where dividers add unnecessary friction.
Block Structure
section-divider
Evidence
What changed, why it matters, and what we learned.
Best Practices
1
Use section numbers only if the deck is long enough to need them.
2
Keep body copy short.
3
Use the same divider pattern throughout a deck.
