Titles and headings
Titles and headings of content should convey as much information as possible about the text that follows to help readers locate information quickly.
Note
Title and heading style varies among content teams. The guidelines in this topic are widely used and can make it easier to share files across teams. However, if your team follows a different practice, use your team’s style consistently.
