change of sides
In sports, the switching of halves of the playing field by the teams or players, usually at halftime, to ensure fair conditions.
Nach dem Seitenwechsel spielte die Heimmannschaft mit dem Wind im Rücken.
After the change of sides, the home team played with the wind at their backs.
The word is a clear compound of 'Seite' (side/page) and 'Wechsel' (change). Depending on the context, 'Seite' refers to one side of a playing field, a page of a book, or a political side.
Der Seitenwechsel im Tennis erfolgt nach jedem ungeraden Spiel.
In tennis, the change of sides takes place after every odd-numbered game.
The context makes the meaning clear. Words like 'Spiel' (game), 'Halbzeit' (halftime), or 'Mannschaft' (team) point to sports. 'Partei' (party) or 'Meinung' (opinion) point to politics. 'Dokument' (document), 'Text' (text), or 'einfügen' (to insert) point to word processing.
Der Seitenwechsel zur Konkurrenz hat seiner Karriere nicht geschadet.
The change of sides to the competition did not hurt his career.
In a political or ideological context, the formal verb 'vollziehen' (to carry out/complete) is often used for a change in affiliation.

The minister carried out a surprising change of sides and joined the opposition.
In the context of word processing, typical combinations are 'einen manuellen Seitenwechsel einfügen' (to insert a manual page break) or 'einen automatischen Seitenwechsel erzwingen' (to force an automatic page break).
Du kannst in den Einstellungen festlegen, wo ein automatischer Seitenwechsel stattfinden soll.

upheaval / layout
'der Umbruch' and 'der Seitenwechsel' can be related in the area of text, printing, or word processing. 'Umbruch' means the layout of a page: Where do lines, paragraphs, images, and new pages go? 'Seitenwechsel' refers more specifically to the transition from one page to the next. The words can be confused because layout often also involves deciding where a page break occurs. Remember: 'der Umbruch' is the overall arrangement of the text, while 'der Seitenwechsel' is only the jump to the next page.
Vor der Tabelle fügt Mehmet einen Seitenwechsel ein, damit sie nicht getrennt wird.
Before the table, Mehmet inserts a page break so that it is not split up.
