Hello,

Sub-headings
I only use the first heading for the title of the page, as standard.
When I want to identify sections/paragraphs on a page, I just use a 
strong text format. For me that's enough.

Sub-pages
Often about 3 levels deep, but I found examples where I go to 6-7 levels 
deep.
This is very important for me. I prefer extra smaller sub-pages above a 
big page with sections and headings.
I also need to easily re-arrange pages and sub-pages.

Export
I rarely use export, but I would go for next options: complete notebook, 
single page, page with all its sub-pages.

I have no strong use-case for using both sub-headings and sub-pages.

Regards,
Frank
