Appendix package option to force page break before appendices

Question

Instead of manually putting a \newpage before \begin{appendices}, how can I tell the appendix package to do this ?

Answer 1

If you have a chaptered document class, this would be the default behaviour. In documents with top level structure section there is no way to tell the appendix package to insert a page break. That is because sections usually do not start new pages. So you need to manually add a \clearpage.
