Thanks, Mark. That is helpful. It doesn't quite describe the situation I'm in. What I have is the site navigation at the top, then the breadcroms as a secondary navigation with the region title of navigation, then the h1. Down the page are buttons that open dynamic content in tiles. So, when a button is hit, the it doesn't open a new page, just extra content on the original page. When the new content opens, the focus goes to the heading of that content. I've no problem with this.

There are other buttons that open a journey, but the journey is also just refreshable tiles. Hitting the back button takes the user back one step in the journey. My issue is that the journey may have three or four steps and these are reflected in the sitemap. However, the focus goes to the h2 heading of the new content, so a screen reader user does not see that they can use the sitemap to navigate straight to the beginning of the journey in order to go on a different journey.

Cheers

Barry
