The terms "Demote chapter" and "Promote chapter" in Navigator UI are wrong/misleading. Definition of demote (https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/demote) transitive verb 1 : to reduce to a lower grade or rank demote a student was demoted from major to captain 2 : to relegate to a less important position a pitcher demoted to the bullpen The commands "Demote chapter" and "Promote Chapter" in Navigator are to move chapter/heading and its contents in another place in the document, preserving the outline levels and contents. Suggestions: "Move heading down in document", "Move heading up in document" "Move chapter down in document", "Move chapter up in document" "Move heading down", "Move heading up" "Move chapter down", "Move chapter up"

Stuart, this needs input from a native speaker. What's your take?
I'll defer to Jim R. But in 'Content Navigation View' these are not just the "Headings" rather their associated content, i.e. the "Chapter" between the heading levels. Promote also means "move upward in a hierarchy"; Demote means "move downward in a hierarchy". So while Promote and Demote are a little awkward applied for [Chapter] relocations, in this Navigator tree view of a document's outline, these control lables are consisten with the "Promote [Outline] Level"/"Demote [Outline] Level" controls present in the same block. I don't perceive a reason to adjust, and not sure anything would be better. The "Move heading down/up..." or "Move chapter down/up..." of OP offer no real improvement--and I suspect l10n would have issues compared to simple promote/demote use.
_Move_ X up/down is less clear since moving could mean to place the chapter somewhere else in the document, makes reading in a glimpse harder because both start with Move, and the terms are in use since the dawn of time and familiar to the users (or localized). So I take Stuarts comment and resolve the issue as NAB and let Jim reopen in case he advocates for some other terms.
Promote/Demote Chapter/Level were used as the tool tips for controls in the Navigator tool box when the content tree context menu enhancement was done. Either Promote/Demote or Up/Down work for me.
