I find that I have to switch to the outline, then scroll up, if I want to know what the parent headline is, or any ancestor. Others have proposed showing the parent headline, but that could clutter the agenda and will not show other ancestors. Here is a simple proposal: put the olpath of the current header in header-line-format. Then you always know where you are, without having to switch to the outline buffer. Thanks. -- Q: How many CDC "scientists" does it take to change a lightbulb? A: You only think it's dark.
