Hi, my name is Sascha from Germany and I need your help please.
What do I need to adjust to a new page Scrivener, after a “Page break” starts up and does not like me always something deeper. I’ve been searching for days for the correct setting.

Hi, mein Name ist Sascha aus Deutschland und ich brauche bitte Eure Hilfe.
Was muss ich bei Scrivener einstellen damit eine neue Seite, also nach einem “Page break” oben beginnt und nicht wie bei mir immer etwas tiefer. Ich suche schon seit Tagen nach der richtigen Einstellung.
Okay, I note that you do not have any “Title” checkmarks here, which means the title I see in the first screenshot must be typed directly into the editor. Is it typed into the first section file of the chapter, and are these sections arranged into folders? For example:
[Folder] Chapter 1
[File] first section (Contains chapter title)
[File] second section
[Folder] Chapter 2
[File] first section (Contains chapter title)
...
If so, try the following settings in the Separator’s panel:
Also, check for any paragraph spacing or actual breaks in the files themselves that contain the chapter name. If none of what I’m saying matches what you have, please post an example of your outline structure in the binder (blurred is fine).
As a side note, with e-books it is generally better to have the compiler generate the titles for you (you can format them in the Formatting pane). You will get a better table of contents when doing so. If the folder names are identical to the chapter names though, then it is okay to leave it be.
If you wish to customise the table of contents, you can just make your own. A side benefit of doing that is you can change the name of it to the German equivalent, rather than “Contents”. To do so, create an empty document in the draft (or front matter) for the contents. Then select all of the items in the binder that need to appear in list. Now use Edit/Copy Special/Copy as Scrivener Links and paste into the empty document you made.
Style that however you want, and check off “Compile As-Is” in the Inspector. Now go to the Layout compile option pane, and set the “HTML table of contents title” to the name of the document you created for this. Scrivener will look for a document that has that name, and if it finds one, it will use that instead of the built-in generator.
