    Of course you can engage!

    You can add an H1 or H2 by using the formatting toolbar or the shortcuts listed below.

    • H1: Type # and press space, then type your header
    • H2: Type ## and press space, then type your header
    • H3: Type ### and press space, then continue typing (you can also add an H3 by highlighting and bolding an entire line of text)

    You can also make H1 and H2 headers more bold by highlighting and bolding them as you would with any other text.

    To collapse or expand them, click on the downward arrow on the left of the header you'd like to take these actions on. 

    I hope this helps and please let me know if there's anything else you'd like to ask too. Thanks for using Paper!

Hi Walter

I also don't see the disclosure triangle/arrow. Is this a beta feature?

Hey folks ( @engage & @lukeyo) - happy Monday!
 
@lukeyo: Spot on, Luke - this is indeed a feature that hasn't been rolled out to all users yet. 
 
@engage:  It seems like I jumped the gun here - apologies for that (I just got too excited about this :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:)
 
Our Paper team is currently in the process of experimenting with new features trying to build the best Paper experience for all our users and this may sometimes lead to different users having a slightly different experience on Paper.
 
I hope this sheds some extra light on this one and thanks for taking the time to share your interest on this feature - I'll let the team know!

    I thought I was going crazy, my work account has these arrows but my personal does not. 

    Any idea when we can expect a full rollout? I'm dying a little inside everytime I try to collapse a section in my docs.

    Not at the moment johnnyauburn - sorry to keep you waiting, yet, I'll ask the team for you though and I'll make sure to post here when I get an update on this. 

    Should you need anything else in the meantime, please, let me know. 

    Once again, thanks for showing your interest in this feature - I'll pass the feedback on to our Paper team's devs.

    Cheers!

    THIS small feature would make the service almost perfect. Especially will be useful for those recurring meeting notes that have to be separated by headers. I could then transition from Dynalist+Evernote+Todoist (maybe) to one tool.

    Sorry for the delay, this feature should now be available for everyone :)

    I unfortunately found that this feature doesn't work in Firefox

    Seconding the firefox bug. It's really disappointing to find a major feature bug simply by not using chrome.
