Elements - Heading
Heading levels establish a hierarchy that organizes content and helps search engines index each page. Use the Heading content type in the Page Builder stage to add a text container with a heading level from H1 to H6 to the stage. Headings are formatted according to the style sheet that is associated with the current theme.
The Content Heading field in the Content section can be used to add an H1 heading to the top of the page. However, the field is a legacy from previous Commerce versions and is provided to support older content. This field does not take advantage of Page Builder’s advanced features. It is recommended that you leave the Content Heading field blank and use the Page Builder Heading content type to add headings of any level to the page.
The following example shows how the Content Heading and the Heading content type appear when formatted by the Luma theme.
You can drag a heading from the Elements section of the Page Builder panel to a row, column, or tab set on the stage. The heading level and alignment can be controlled from the editor toolbar on the stage, or by using the Settings (
) control.
