Pin the table of contents by default

Set a document's table of contents to stay pinned open by default for your audience, from the editor's Settings menu.

The table of contents lets your audience jump between the sections of a document. By default, it appears for a second when someone opens the document, then slides away to the left, and readers reopen it from the TOC button whenever they need it. If you'd rather your audience see the full outline the moment they land, you can pin the table of contents open by default.

Pin the table of contents by default

Open the document in the editor, then:

  1. Click the • • • menu at the top of the editor and choose Settings.

  2. Turn on Pin table of contents by default.

Your change saves automatically.

The entries in the table of contents come from your section headings. If you need one to read differently in the outline, an acronym or all caps for example, you can change the name a section shows in the table of contents.

Preview what your audience will see

Click Preview in the top right corner of the editor to open the document the way an audience member sees it. With the setting on, the table of contents stays pinned open instead of sliding away. You can also preview a document from your home page or the document library.

What your audience can do

Pinning by default sets the starting point, not a lock. While reading, each audience member can pin or unpin the table of contents to match how they like to get around a document. Blissbook remembers that choice for them, so the table of contents stays the way they left it every time they log in.

Your default still does the work. It's what everyone sees the first time, and what anyone who never changes it will keep seeing.
