Guide to Heading Order and Proper Usage

Key Points 

• Use Only One Heading 1: The main title of the article should be marked with a Heading 1 

• Follow Hierarchical Order of Headings: Maintain a logical flow of headings throughout the article. After Heading 1, use Heading 2, followed by Heading 3, and so on. Avoid skipping levels.

• Stick to Default Heading Font Size: Use the default font size for headings to maintain consistency and ease of readability. 

• Use Black Font Color: Keep the font color for headings and text black, unless a specific color is necessary for clarity or emphasis.

• Make Headings Descriptive and Relevant: Ensure that each heading clearly reflects the content it introduces. Descriptive headings help readers easily understand the structure of the article.

Using the built-in heading function

• Heading sizes can be found in the top left corner of the page in the toolbar section. It will be labeled "Paragraph Format" 
  
• After selecting a heading, you can type out a title.
• Alternatively, you can change an existing title by simply highlighting the title and clicking on the desired heading. 

• Tip: Bolding each heading in the article is a great way to direct attention to content sections, and clarify article structure by content
