Navigating Headings on Apple Notes

Hi There,

I have created a note on Apple Notes.

It is quite a lengthy note, so i have gone through and used the 'Headers" feature in the note composer to mark the various Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 headers throughout the note.

Later when i go back to the note and try to navigate through the content using the headers menu, voiceover does not recognize any of the headers I had marked.

Does anybody know what is the issue here?

My end goal is to be able to quickly navigate through lengthy pieces of content on Apple Notes.

Have you tried navigating to the next and previous heading in a note with VO-Command-H and VO-Command-Shift-H, respectively? These commands seem to work for me.

Yes, VO Command H works fine to navigate to the next headings.

However when i press VO + U bring up the headings navigation menu, it doesn't show up.

Same thing with the Links Menu. VO + U does not allow me to access the Links menu when in apple notes.

Am I doing something wrong or is this the way Apple Notes functions?

VO-U doesn't work for me in Apple Notes either, so I'm guessing it doesn't support that command or rotor navigation more broadly.
