I think the default is that if you put in the header and footer in the first section when creating from scratch, it will default to Link to Previous as subsequent sections are added. But I just made a dummy file to test it and "different odd and even pages" came up by default on the second section, I'm not sure why.
If you need to start a different page number sequence (for example, some of our reports have an executive summary which gets a i-ii-iii type lower case Roman numeral along with the table of contents, then the main report starts with 1-2-3), you'll use the Page Number settings on the ribbon of Header and Footer to tell it to start over.

Even though it looks like a Section setting, the
Different Even and Odd Header/Footer Setting is a document setting that applies to both headers and footers.
For each section, there are SIX settings for link to previous. One for each kind of header and one for each kind of footer.
The default when starting a new section is to link to the previous section, so fixing it in the first section that breaks the chain may fix it for the document.
