Why can't I edit step titles in editing mode?

I'm editing pages for grammar police and confusing text flags. I can edit the introduction and steps, but there is no option for editing the title of the steps--no field opens up for the title.

The "help" button provides this information for editing titles:

"The 'Add a Title' field allows you to give each step a unique title...When editing a step, this field is directly above the images, Click in the 'Add a Title' field and type in the step title,

On the pages that I am editing, the titles appear fixed. there is no "field" in edit mode to allow for editing. How do I access the "add a title" field?

Thanks!

Hi @thetechmaven, thanks for the great question! We see that you're a student and are working on the Editing Project. A concise, clearly-written step usually does not require a step title—the titles quickly become redundant, making the document longer and therefore more of an effort to read. Step titles are best used to mark the beginning of a series of related steps. For instance, if you add a prerequisite guide, a step title is automatically added to denote the first step in the prerequisite sequence. For this project, you don't need to worry about step titles.

If you have any other questions or concern regarding your class project, we're happy to help. Just be sure to contact us at techwriting@ifixit.com and it will go directly to the EDU Department so we'll see it right away! For other inquiries regarding the iFixit, Meta is the place to post. Thanks! -iFixit EDU
