      Actual Result

      The "Collapse comment: Admin Admin added a comment - 17..." accordion header does not follow the visual structure of the page. It is inappropriately defined as heading level 3 instead of heading level 4. As a result, screen reader users found it difficult to understand the page content structure.

      Expected Result

      The heading levels should correctly convey the relationship between the headings, such as the parent-child relationship between the headings. Provide appropriate heading levels to the mentioned heading text, such as <h1>, <h2>, <h3>, and so on.

      In this instance, mark-up the mentioned text using <h4> element.
