Introduction

Headings and subheadings represent the key concepts and supporting ideas on the page. Headings are generally bigger than subheadings, and they both convey levels of importance. Headers tell us about the following content and make it easier to read the content and focus on what matters to you.

In large documents, it is useful and time-saving to have automated numbered headings. Imagine how much time your team spends updating numbered headings within pages, especially when more employees are involved in creating.
