[Athen] [EXT] Question about headings

[Robert Beach]

Keep a logical flow in order to keep from confusing the end user. Headings should follow the same flow as an outline.

Hello All,

We're having some debate on our campus about whether it's ok to skip heading levels or not. I've always understood that it was best not to, but WCAG doesn't explicitly state this. What is the consensus from actual screen reader users?

Thanks,

Allison Swanson
