I’m gonna attempt to show case that the numbered list can be improved from canvas-toolbar when creating an article. I added a picture as an example.

I’m demonstrating an issue with the numbered list feature in the canvas-toolbar. As you can see from the screenshot, the numbering breaks after adding a new paragraph style (e.g., Paragraph 3). The count restarts at “1” instead of continuing sequentially.

Would it be possible to enhance this functionality so the numbering keeps running across different paragraph styles? This would improve readability and maintain a logical flow when creating articles or guides that require varied formatting. Thank you for considering this improvement!

What if you type 1. (one period), this should automatically put you in that number Style. (Word does this)?

I never understood “why whoever invented this” put that restriction.

If the user does not want the Numbered Style, they can just press backspace and clear that style.
