There’s one last example we’d like to share. We mentioned in the previous example that you should not skip Heading levels when going from Heading 1 to 6. It is, however, acceptable to skip headings if you’re going from Heading 6 back to 1.

Here’s an example.

Heading 1: Page title

Heading 2: A section of the page content

Heading 3: A section of the Heading 2 content

Heading 4: A section of the Heading 3 content

Heading 2: A section of the page content

It is acceptable to jump from Heading 4 to Heading 2.

In the example, Heading 4 is used to divide the content of Heading 3, which divides the content of Heading 2. When it’s time to begin a new section of the page’s overall content, it is correct to use Heading 2.

If you want to re-review the pages on Headings, you can return to the Main Headings Page, or Headings – Example 2
