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 creates a dynamic table of contents based on the headings used across your page, 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 Vertical layout with all headings from across your page automatically shown.

Layout

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

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

    Table of Contents - Vertical layout

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

Display

Control what content the Table of Contents picks up from your page.

  • Include in contents - choose which sources the Table of Contents pulls headings from. All three are enabled by default:
    • Web part titles from across the page
    • Section titles (includes SharePoint collapsible section titles)
    • Text web part headings
  • Heading levels to include - choose which heading levels appear. All four levels are selected by default:
    • Heading 1
    • Heading 2
    • Heading 3
    • Heading 4

Behavior

Additional behavior settings for the Table of Contents include:

  • Make entries interactive links - users can click any heading to jump directly to that section on the page.
  • Expand all by default - in the Vertical layout, you can expand all levels by default so all headings are visible immediately.
  • Limit to this page section (off by default) - limit the Table of Contents to only show headings from the current section.
