# How to center align the heading in the articles

By default, article headings in Document360 are left-aligned. You can center-align all H2, H3, and H4 headings across your knowledge base site using a single CSS snippet, useful for documentation styles that use a centered layout, or to match a brand aesthetic that places headings at the center of the page.

> This CSS change applies to **all H2, H3, and H4 headings** across every article on your knowledge base site. It cannot be scoped to a single article or a specific heading level without modifying the snippet.

## When to use this

Use this customization when you want to:

- Apply a centered heading layout consistently across all articles site-wide.
- Match a brand or design system that uses centered typographic alignment.
- Override the default left-aligned heading style without editing individual articles.

---

## Before you begin

- You need access to **Settings** (

) > **Knowledge base site** > **Site customization** > **Custom CSS & JavaScript** in the Knowledge base portal.
- This change is site-wide and irreversible without removing the snippet. If you only want to centre specific headings rather than all of them, consider applying inline styles in individual articles instead.

## How to center-align headings

1. Navigate to **Settings** (

) > **Knowledge base site** > **Site customization** > **Custom CSS & JavaScript** in the Knowledge base portal.

2. From the left navigation pane, select the **CSS** tab and paste the following snippet:

```
H2,H3,H4{
text-align:center;
}
```

1. Click **Save**.

All H2, H3, and H4 headings across your knowledge base site now display with center alignment.

## Best practices

- **Scope the snippet if you only need specific headings centered.** If you want only H2 headings centred and not H3 or H4, remove the unwanted selectors — for example, use `H2 { text-align: center; }` alone.
- **Test across article types after saving.** Center-aligned headings can look different in articles with wide prose, tables, or code blocks. Review a range of articles before publishing the change.
- **To revert, delete the snippet.** If center alignment does not work for your content, navigate back to **Custom CSS & JavaScript**, select and delete the snippet from the CSS tab, and click **Save**. Headings return to left alignment immediately.
