Use the page break block to separate your content into a multiple-page experience and add pagination, or page breaks, to a page or post. This can be useful if you are writing a step-by-step tutorial or if you’d like to split your page into multiple chapters, for instance.
In order to add a page break block, click on the Block Inserter icon.
You can also type /page-break and hit enter in a new paragraph block to add one quickly.

Detailed instructions on adding blocks
You can add as many page breaks as you want to your post or page. Each page break block adds a new number to the multi-page link that appears at the bottom, splitting the content into more pages.

Block Toolbar
