How to configure and use the Table of Contents app by Accelerator 365

The Table of Contents app helps users navigate long SharePoint pages by automatically generating a menu of headings. It works with the SharePoint Text web part to create a dynamic, scannable structure, making pages like policies or guides easier to read.

Configuring the app for the first time

To add the Table of Contents app:

  1. Select Edit on your SharePoint page.

  2. Select + Add a new web part, then choose the Table of Contents app.

  3. Once added, the Table of Contents app will display in the List layout with all headings from the Text web part on your page automatically shown.

Layouts

The Table of Contents offers two layouts so you can choose the one that best fits your page style:

  • List - displays headings in a hierarchical list. Ideal for pages with multiple heading levels, providing a clear overview of all sections.

    Table of Contents - List layout

  • Pivot - displays headings in a tab-style layout. Useful when you want a compact, interactive view of your page sections.

Display options

Additional display options for the Table of Contents include:

  • Select levels of display - Heading 2 is always displayed. Enable Heading 3 or Heading 4 if you want deeper sections included in the Table of Contents.

  • Expand all levels by default - in the List layout, you can expand all levels by default so all headings are visible immediately.

  • Restrict to content from the current section - limit the Table of Contents to only show headings from the current section.

  • Enable in-page links to content - users can click any heading to jump directly to that section on the page.
