An Editor Replaced H2 Steps in a Guide With H3 Steps
At one point, the editors seemed to be on a quest to make sure all of the header tags lined up correctly. So, if those other H2s were logical steps that could follow under another H2, it does make sense for them to change them to H3s. Alternatively, if you left them as H2s, they would need to fall in line under the H1 tag.
The hope is that Google better understands the article and possibly even picks it up as a featured snippet.
This made a lot of sense to me and I started rearranging my articles like that as well. The problem is, as always, different editors are on different pages of the script. So you go through the trouble of formatting the article the way you think they want it and then they change it anyway.
OK, will do. I'll study the differences between this article and the others to see what's going on. It''s probably because I've used an introductory H2 title telling the reader that ten steps will follow, as shown in the editor version here:

I went to answer a comment on it, and I stared at it for at least five minutes. I no longer recognised it! The photos had been changed, the writing...

Changing what an editor did on an article
How do you deal with a change that was made to an article by an HP editor? They unnecessarily changed the title of the article, I'd like to change it back to what it was. Is that what everyone else does when this kind of thing happens? Curious.
