In earlier versions of Pages, when you clicked Format, one option bar at the top was Section. That's gone in Pages 10. It only has Style, Layout, and More, and none them include formatting sections. I want to set page numbering to restart in a new section, but I no longer see a way to set that option.

In earlier versions of Pages, when you click Document, the Section tab was present. In Pages 10, it was removed from the Document panel, and now dynamically appears when you click a thumbnail, and disappears again when you click the document body text.
That does it. But I have to say, that's a terrible implementation. I don't like keeping the thumbnails open - a waste of space, but now I have to show them if I want to format sections or see what page I'm on in the document. It's really annoying.
Thanks for your helpful answer... but this is a STUPID way to hide a useful feature. Apple keeps making DUMB changes like this, but can't simply implement Command-click to allow multiple selections... really? Oh well.
@ Chris,

Thank you for keeping your rant short.
If you'd like to do something more useful toward reversing this change (and toward being able to use the command-click feature in Pages, send your message to Apple, not here, where your audience is a group of users of the software, who can tell you how to use the softwares existing features as they exist now, but can't make changes to the software itself.
Go to the Pages menu and choose Provide Pages Feedback.
Pick a category from the list of Feedback types (enhanced feature would be mine), and make your request.
Repeat for the process for the second feature you mentioned.
Regards,
Barry
Agreed. Bass Ackwards design. Changing a design feature that has been in place for years to a "guess where the section panel is" solution is clearly out of touch with user reality.
You can still open the View Word Count and select on pages rather than word count... but that sits on top of the document and gets in my way, so I don't do that.
Pages 10 - section format is gone
