People using Google Docs can now use different headers and footers on the first pages of their documents, which comes in handy for:

• Following academic formatting guidelines (e.g. MLA, CMS, APA)
• Starting page numbering on the second page
• Making a title page without headers or footers

After inserting a header or footer in your document you’ll see a new checkbox―just tick it and you’ll be able to set a different header and footer on the first page:

There’s also a new Insert > Page Number menu that lets you customize how and where you start your page numbers―like on the bottom of the second page, for example.
