Table of Contents

What is the Table of Contents?

Table contents is a list of the H2 headers on a page. It appears at the top right corner of the page body under "In this section", and it lists each H2 as a link.

Clicking one of these links will jump the user down the page to the relevant section of the page. This can you organize pages with a lot of content in a way that your users can easily navigate.

Select your header using the dropdown menu on the far left side of the editor:
