Use this field to write a short introduction to the main heading. Recommended use of this field would be like "New product" or "The president said:" or similar. This text is normally displayed in a smaller font than the main Title.
The Pre Heading should not be used without a Title.

Title

The Title is used in the list of articles in admin area to easily find what you are looking for. Without a title, it will be hard to find your article.
