Actual Results
The "Not verified" heading text (available on activating "Signature not verified" button from data table present in main content area) does not follow the visual structure of the page. It is inappropriately defined as heading level 3 instead of heading level 2. As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page’s content structure.
Expected Results
The heading levels should correctly convey the relationship between the headings, such as the parent-child relationship between the headings. Provide an appropriate heading level to the mentioned heading text, such as <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, and so on.
In this scenario, mark the text "Not verified" using <h2> tag.
