The direct answer

A visual style change can accidentally turn every prominent phrase into a heading or remove the page's main heading. Structure should support reading and navigation.

Start with the evidence

List the headings in order and compare them with the visible sections. Check whether repeated cards create confusing heading levels.

Make the change deliberately

Keep one clear main subject and meaningful section headings. Choose heading levels for document structure, then use CSS to control appearance.

Platform guidance can change. Consult the current official documentation before making platform-specific changes.
