I've determined that each "page" can only have one title per page so all my "pages" are redundant. I think I just need to accept that it's too confusing and even if I try very hard to make sense out of this, there's absolutely no way this will make any sense to someone reading the doc. I'm going to build a wiki page in HTML. Thanks a lot MS lost a whole month to your anti-design methodology.
Honestly this is my fault for trying. Everyone know it's not possible to use MS 365 for effective communication. Ugh.
Please mark this as the answer.
