To enter text on the rows of your outline, double-tap on the row beneath the My Level Styles heading and enter Level 1 Row. When you do, you’ll see that the new column heading has been applied.

Tap on the outline area to dismiss the Contents menu.

Change the name from Topic to My Level Styles. This opens the Contents menu to the Columns pane so you can edit the column heading.

From the Locations screen, tap to select the Local Documents folder.
