Overview
Use headings to organize a note into clear sections. Choose Heading 1 for a large section title, Heading 2 for a medium title, or Heading 3 for a smaller one.
Make a heading collapsible to fold the section beneath it when you want a more compact page. You can also set whether the section starts open or closed, and move a section together with its heading.
When to use it
Add a Heading 1 to mark a main topic in a long set of notes.
Use Heading 2 and Heading 3 to show subtopics and smaller sections.
Make a section collapsible when you want to fold away details you are not using.
Use headings to divide meeting notes into topics, decisions, and follow-ups.

Tips
Use heading levels consistently so the section structure is easy to follow.
Keep headings short and descriptive so you can scan the note quickly.
Use Closed as the Default state for collapsible sections you do not need to see right away.
Turn on Drag section with heading when you expect to reorganize a section.
Limitations
Headings are for section titles and structure; they are not a substitute for the content in each section.
Only a heading with Collapsible section enabled folds its section.
