Actual Results
The“Kanban boards are often divided into streams of work...” button uses a heading tag. However, this element does not title or categorise any content. As a result, users of a screen reader will not be able to understand the page’s content structure.
Expected Results
Elements that do not title or categorise any content should not use heading tags. Use CSS to style the content if required. Do not use heading tags, such as <h1>, <h2>, and so on, unless the elements title or categorise other content.
In this scenario, remove the button from the <h2> element in the DOM.
