In-page navigation elements can significantly improve usability on longer pages. The optional Sector Table of Contents feature provides a simple ToC automated from headings in the main body content.
Sector Table of Contents is optional in the Sector Starter Kit

Editors can place the table of contents either in the sidebar or in the WYSIWYG.
When to use Table of Contents placements
The two placements cater for very different use cases.
| Use cases | Sidebar placement | Body (WYSIWYG) placement |
|---|---|---|
| Page length | For longer pages needing 'deeper' in-page navigation | For shorter pages with only 3 to 6 distinct sections defined by H2s |
| Type of ToC |
All ToC that list more than 6 items. |
ToC that only list H2s |
| Sidebar blocks | Secondary menu block is hidden | Secondary menu block is shown |
Placing a table of contents in the sidebar
To place a table of contents in the sidebar, select 'show table of contents' under 'content settings' in the 'display options' field set.
We highly recommend hiding the secondary menu block!
Placing a table of contents in the WYSIWYG
- Select the 'embedded content' button from the toolbar and choose 'Sector > Table of contents'.
- Under 'Heading' select a heading, for example 'On this page'.
- Under 'Selectors' you can add specific CSS selectors, for example h2, h3, h4:first-child or summary for disclosures.
Enjoy :)
