[s] Would it be possible to include an example for each principle (use vs don't use)? Might be helpful for writers who haven't started updating titles yet to see the difference.

I tried to provide an example in each section. More in depth examples might require a whole subsection because I would have to set up a scenario for each example. Let's see if the rest of the reviewers think deeper examples are necessary!

Use the guidelines in the following subsections to create effective and consistent
titles and headings. Special considerations for stand-alone articles, product
guides, and tables, figures, and examples can be found in the Product Guides and
Tables, Figures, and Headings subsections.

No action required necessarily here, but just wanted to call out that this is kind of an interesting an example because "Restore Operations" could also be read as a task / action (with "restore" being a verb).

I was wondering if maybe "Restoration Operations" might make this clearer that this is a Reference page? But "restoration" is kind of a clunkier word, so up to you.

I didn't create this table, but I can see how this would be confusing! Changed to 'Operators and Collectors'

- Avoid having more than two levels of sections within an article or
topic. If you use more than two levels of sections, consider whether
you can reorganize to make the structure flatter.

I'm not sure I understand what this means. Could you share an example?

Changed sections to say 'headings' instead. Hopefully that makes more sense!
