Table of contents panel

Key point: The table of contents (TOC) of your document or publication.

When viewing a document, the Table of contents panel is on the left and shows all headings in the included documents. It can be opened or closed by clicking the toc icon icon at the top of the left sidebar or by clicking the cross icon icon. PSML documents have a TOC panel, whereas, PDF documents have a PDF outline panel.

To navigate to any document or fragment, click the caret-right icon or caret-down icon icons. You can view individual documents or fragments by clicking the links.

Publication TOC

If the document is part of a publication, all the headings in the documents that are part of the publication can be seen in the panel, in hierarchical order, with the publication root document at the top.

Indicators

To help you identify which documents might require your attention, PageSeeder uses:

  • A colored icon next to documents that have at least a comment, an active task status, or have an active workflow status.
  • A colored dot to the right of any heading indicates that there is at least one document that requires your attention down the hierarchy – not directly on the item but when you expand the heading.

Click the ellipsis-v icon icon on the top right corner of the panel to select which indicator you would like to display, then click one of the following icons:

task icon icon (default)

Any documents or fragments that have active tasks show a task icon icon to the right, followed by the number of active tasks.

comment-o icon icon

Any documents or fragments that have comments show a comment icon icon to the right, followed by the number of individual comments.

workflow icon icon

Any documents that have an active workflow status, show a workflow icon icon to the right.

Click the ellipsis-v icon icon again to close these options.

Document not part of a publication

If a document is not part of a publication, in the TOC panel, you see all the headings in the document, in hierarchical order.

Document without multiple headings

If a document has no headings (other than the heading in the first fragment), in the TOC panel, you see a message in a yellow box with a lightbulb icon icon indicating it doesn’t have a table of contents as it doesn’t have multiple headings and isn't part of a publication.

Numbering table

In Developer view click the wrench icon icon on the top right corner of the panel to replace the TOC with the numbering table. Click the toc icon icon to display the TOC again.

The numbering table lists all the headings and numbered paragraphs in the publication and can help diagnose numbering issues. It contains the following three columns:

  • Prefix/Canonical: the displayed auto-number / the internal numerical representation of the auto-number.
  • Title: the heading text or the beginning text of the paragraph linked to that location in the publication.
  • Publication/Source level: the hierarchical publication level corresponding to the publication configuration / the level or indent in the PSML document.
