Hey Fellow Notioner,

Notion continues to innovate and enhance its capabilities and constantly drops new, amazing features. One of its latest addition is the floating table of contents (ToC).

This dynamic new feature promises to streamline navigation within your Notion pages, offering us an intuitive way to jump between sections with ease.

Whether you're a student organising your study notes, a professional managing complex project documentation, or a writer structuring your next bestseller, the floating ToC in Notion is here to make your life easier.

How Notion’s Floating Table of Contents Work

The floating table of contents in Notion is designed to automatically detect page sections based on headings. Here's a breakdown of how it functions:

1. Automatic Detection: The feature scans your document and identifies headings. These headings can be in various formats, such as H1, H2, H3, etc., ensuring that all significant sections are captured.
2. Floating Navigation Pane: Once the headings are detected, they are displayed in a floating pane on the side of your document. This pane remains visible as you scroll, providing constant access to your document's structure.
3. Interactive Links: Each heading in the floating ToC is a clickable link. Clicking on a heading will instantly navigate you to that section, saving you from endless scrolling and searching.
4. Dynamic Updates: The ToC updates in real-time as you add, remove, or modify headings. This ensures that your table of contents is always current, reflecting the latest changes in your document.

Here is how you do it:

Upload an image of your choosing
Hover over the image with your mouse and start dragging from the side.
Drag it until it snaps as a header.
Now you also drag to change the height of the image.
