+### Adding spec examples
 
 To keep things consistent in the spec, we should use examples that reference an e-commerce store. We should use types like `Product`, `User`, `Reviews`, etc.
+
+### Adding new sections
+
+Sections in the spec document are nested under top level sections, then topic sections, then specific sections. We should aim to limit to 3 nested levels and consider flattening once we reach 4 levels.
