Overview

Document headings are formatted paragraphs. They not only visually separate documents sections, but also drive the table of contents and play a part in defining the document structure.

Headings have their own formatting settings and those settings will apply to all headings in a document.

Pre-conditions

• Document Level Permissions: 'Owner', 'Editor'.

Undo/Redo Reformatting

In case any mistakes were believed to be made in formatting across any paragraph you've edited across a session on a document, you can undo them with "Ctrl/Cmd + Z", and then again if needed on the same fashion you can redo the formatting actions with "Ctrl/Cmd + Y" in case you realized they were indeed correct.
