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!
docs outline/table of contents is live for everyone now! <3

Very much need this for my co-op business to transfer over from google docs. We have so much complex documentation where you have to have a readily accessible table of contents to jump to different sections.

Proton Docs is useless to me without this feature.

this is a pretty basic feature, markdown editors like HackMD have it by default, this should not be a big deal to implement afaict

yes please. I agree with anon, 2nd Sept. Proton Docs will not be useable for longer docs without adding this feature. Enables navigation and reveals structure of docs

Very important for structuring longer documents (both for the writing and reading). Especially important for documents being written collaboratively. Word and Google Docs both have this feature - and when using those, I use them all the time.

Hello there,
Looking for a safe google docs alternative.
I can't make the switch until I have a table of contents, like the document tabs in google docs.
Thanks for hearing us out !

I heavily use Proton Docs.
However, when a document gets larger, navigation within the document is a real pain.
My request: add a sidebar or something similar that is structured by headings and allows quick navigation within a document (similar to Navigator in Word like a ToC). -

Just started migrating to Proton and this is a big need for me in order to navigate long documents

At least a clickable TOC (optionally maybe) inserted at beginning of document.

docs is basically unusable for large or complex documents without this

You can apply "Header 1" the title of the doc and subtitles but they are only visual, i would love to see a doc outliner on the side of the docs to be able to organize and skim through the doc without scrolling all the through 90 pages to what i need (Like google docs)

This is the only thing keeping me from migrating to Proton Docs, please add the TOC.

Adding this feature would streamline my navigation through large pages, making the experience far more efficient and intuitive. Please, add this.

Shocked that Docs doesn't already have this. Just signed up and unfortunately, without this, it's unusable for my purposes.

Yes, some way to navigate easily using headings. Please. I write novels, and go back-and-forth between chapters a lot for edits. This would save so much time.

Docs is practically unusable without this.

Just make similar usage as google docs and I will be happy. side panel and a nice list view of all the headers with options to turn certain headers off so they are not listed.
