Headings help to add structure and meaning to pages by organizing content into sections and indicating the relative importance of those sections. Assistive technologies and some browsers provide mechanisms to present a list of headings that allows the user to jump to individual headings, as well as establishing the importance of the content that is categorized under the heading.

Canvas utilizes 4 levels of headings

Header 2

Header 3

Header 4

Paragraph


The title of the page is styled under Header 1.

An Accessible page utilizes the levels of headings to establish the reading order of the content.
