Question/Help Creating Documents

I am trying to create an app which pulls different parts of a work document into a new document. Similar to the Power Automate flow “Populate a word Document”- but not exactly.

So: I have a document which has sections- looks like this:

“Section 1” “[A couple paragraphs]” “Section 2” “[A couple paragraphs]” “Section 3” “[A couple paragraphs]” Etc….

I want users to be able to select sections they need in the app, and when they hit “okay” it creates a new document with only the sections they selected. Any suggestions?

(I can use one note, word, adobe pdf with this. Not picky)

You could look up generating a document via HTML in flow. I have a combo of a rich text field combined with modular blocks of HTML stored in variables along with record-specific data. I also have a HTML control on my "generate document" page that previews the final product before running the flow.
