Adding one
Type / at the start of an empty line and pick Page break, or use Add block between two things on the page (Adding a block).
To move a break, point at it and drag the handle that shows in the margin beside it; a line shows where it will land. To remove one, drag across it to select it, the way you'd select text, and press Backspace or Delete.
