How it's used
Functions as a transitional device to wrap up a specific section of a discussion or presentation. Unlike 總結 which typically appears at the very end of a speech or document, 小結 serves as a checkpoint to consolidate information before moving on to the next topic.

Common mistake
Often confused with 總結, but remember that 總結 implies a final, comprehensive conclusion, whereas 小結 is more like a mid-point recap.
