The table of contents (TOC) helps you navigate through the content on the page.

If you are writing long essays with multiple headlines and sub-headlines then this is going to help you navigate through these headlines and sub-headlines.

It adds a list of anchor links to the headings in your document. In this post, we will learn how you can add a table of contents to your pages.

Here are the steps.

## 1. Organize your content with headings and sub-headings

Notion automatically detects different header tags and adds them to the table of contents. You should first organize your content with proper formatting with header and sub-header.

H1 is the header and H2, H3, H4, and H5 are sub-headers—categories in the sequence.

## 2. Type “/table of” to add TOC block

After you have organized your content select a place where you want to show your table of contents. Type “/table of” to quickly access the block.

## Optional: Make it Aesthetics

It’s easy to make a table of contents for a page. Organize the page and add the TOC block to add the table of contents.

You can hide the table of contents with a toggle block and make it aesthetically beautiful by adding a background color of your choice. Let’s make it happen.

### 1. Create a toggle list

First, create a toggle list to add a table of contents within it. You can hide the TOC with a toggle.

### 2. Add TOC inside toggle list

After you have created a toggle list, name the toggle list as “table of content” and add the “/table of” block inside the toggle.
