If you're writing a long document with multiple headings and sub-headings, you may want to give your readers a heads up of what it contains — and an easy way to jump to whatever section they want. Add a table of contents to accomplish both! 🙌

Here's one for this page:

How it works

Table of contents is its own type of content block in Notion. Adding it to a page automatically generates a list of anchor links to the headings in your document:

• H1 headings appear as top-level links, indicating major page sections.
• H2 headings are indented once, and H3 headings are indented twice to show hierarchy of information.

• Clicking on any link in a table of contents will take you directly to that heading, which will highlight blue.

<aside> 👉 Note: Your table of contents is a single unit that must be moved, deleted, duplicated, and styled as a unit. To edit the text it contains, edit the actual headings on your page.

Add a table of contents

You can add a table of contents like any other content block in Notion:

• Click the + that appears in your left margin when you hover over a new line. In the menu that pops up, scroll to Table of Contents under Advanced Blocks and press enter.
• Type /table of and you'll see the Table of Contents option pop up. Press enter.
• This automatically generates your table of contents showing headings on your page.

• You can also add a table of contents before you write the rest of your page. It will appear as an empty block that will build itself as you add other headings.
