  • Understanding heading structures
    • Why this is important?
  • The reporting of corrective actions related to 'Change Page Headings Ordering'.
  • How to view and managing corrective action.

Headings should not be used for visual purposes, <h1> headings should be used for main headings, followed by <h2> for sub-headings, and so on.
