Table of Contents :: Proton Docs
Thanks for making Proton Docs!
Will you please add a button to toggle a floating table of contents to the left side of a document that is being viewed or edited?
Ideally, the TOC would show the headers of the document that would scroll to that part of the document when clicked. This would be similar to the feature in Google Docs. Additionally, a config option for it to set how many headers deep it would show would also be helpful.
Thanks again!

When TOC is implemented, I can start using Proton Docs. Hope we will get it soon.

A floating table of contents would be a very useful addition to Proton Docs, especially for longer documents with many headings. Being able to click headers, jump to sections, and choose how many heading levels are shown would make navigation feel much closer to tools like Google Docs. More information here: https://moja.bet/

Thank you for the update - this is a critical function to get me away from Google docs. Moving into QA is great news.

Sad to see this is still not implemented, moved my main docs from google docs due to performance/etc issues but the lack of this feature is making me reconsider

Stop adding new things until you get the basics right please. Having a document app without a table of contents is like notepad, it's not even as good as wordpad.

Oh, this is excatly what I'm missing to make Proton docs the Google Docs killer. Will keep using it, but man, I miss it.

at minimum we need to be able to insert TOC at the top. ideally, we need a floating bar like any other modern docs have

Wad hoping to move over all my items from google today but my more complicated docs can't viably be used without a ToC navigation. Big let down.

Using headings in order to use a left side table of contents is absolutely critical to how I use documents. I've been putting off moving my google docs to proton docs due to the lack of this feature

For anyone who is writing a large paper or a novel, having a programmed table of contents that users can use to quickly navigate their document is crucial.

This would be incredible and add so much functionality to Proton Docs. I could take all my stuff off of Google if there was a Table of Contents and document tabs.

This is essential for any word doc program. Without it, I would seriously consider canceling my Proton Unlimited subscription. Being able to view and navigate through headings in a visible table of contents is vital for long word docs, which is primarily what I use.

So I created a day counter to track how many days we have been using Proton Docs without a Table of Contents

True, I like really enjoy the experience of the minimal ui. But it doesn't make sense now to work in it without a doc outliner.

Writing another book and need a TOC feature.
I got rid of Adobe, thanks to Davinci Resolve and now with Affinity I no longer need premiere, photoshop, nor illustrator. Thank god! Now I need alternatives to indesign and google docs, would love to get rid of those, especially google as I don't' want them spying on and censoring my books.

Hopefully this will help someone that needs a Table Of Contents (TOC) in Proton Docs in 02026.
Ghetto TOC (GTOC): use text comments and navigate the document via the Comments panel.
Access the Comments panel via the word balloon button in the upper right of the screen. 💬I start at the bottom of the document so that the comments are in the correct order for the GTOC (comments are listed by creation timestamp, latest to earliest).
I also only comment on H1, H2, and H3 headings and name the comments for themselves, e.g., the H2 "Miscellaneous" section's comment at the bottom of the document is simply named Miscellaneous.
I only create this GTOC after the document requires significant scrolling because it doesn't auto update and later comments can get out of document order. Like I said, it's ghetto and YMMV.This is a workaround for a critically missing feature in Proton Docs. I hope this helps make someone's day a little brighter. 🌞
Proton REALLY needs to add a proper TOC to Proton Docs!
