Updated SeptemberApril 25, 2024: We have updated the rollout timeline below. Thank you for your patience.
Coming soon: When authoring pages in Microsoft SharePoint, authors will be able to choose the heading level for titles in web parts to help define the hierarchy of information on a page. As we're introducing this new capability, we're also using it as an opportunity to align to the default heading font size in the Text web part. This means that all headings for both Text web part and titles in web parts will be as follow. Note: with this change we're not changing theNew heading default headings sizes for the Text web part:font sizes:
- Heading 2 will now be 24, previously was 28
- Heading 3 will now be 20, previously was 24
- Heading 4 will now be 18, previously was 20
