Table of contents

The Table of Contents block auto-generates a linked list of a document's headings. Insert it once near the top of long documents and it stays current as the doc evolves.

Using it

  • Slash menu → Table of Contents.

  • It scans the document's headings (H1–H6) and renders a nested, clickable outline.

  • Entries update live as you add, edit, or reorder headings — no manual maintenance.

  • Clicking an entry scrolls to that heading.

Where it helps

  • Long guides — setup docs, runbooks, and policy documents.

  • Public articles — ToC blocks render on the help center with anchor links, which also helps SEO (jump links in search results).

  • Specs — PRDs and design docs where reviewers jump between requirements.

Both derive from the same heading structure, so they always agree.

Styling

The block inherits the document's typography, nests by heading level, and renders as a simple nested list in Markdown export.
