Policies and handbooks
Long standards and handbooks become possible to survey at a glance.
Content Creation
Table of Contents for SharePoint
Generate in-page navigation straight from your headings, so long documents become easy to survey and share.
Table of Contents builds in-page navigation from your existing headings and keeps readers oriented as they scroll.
Interactive preview
Select an entry to jump to that heading in the sample document beside it.
Sample document
Purpose and scope
Who the policy applies to, which records it covers, and the legislation it answers to.
Retention schedule
How long each class of record is kept, and the trigger that starts the retention clock.
Financial records
Invoices, statements, and audit papers are retained for seven full financial years.
On a real page the list is generated from your headings and highlights the section in view.
Capabilities
What Table of Contents does
- Automatic detection
- Builds the list from heading levels two to four with no manual maintenance.
- Inline or sticky
- Sit the contents inside the page flow, or pin it alongside as the reader scrolls.
- Current section
- Highlights the section in view so readers always know where they are.
- Shareable anchors
- Every entry gets a stable link that can be copied and shared directly.
- Exclusion rules
- Omit specific headings or depths to keep the list short and useful.
- Theme aware
- Typography and spacing follow your SharePoint theme automatically.
Accessibility conformance
Table of Contents is developed and tested against WCAG 2.2 AA and is suitable for inclusion in an accessibility conformance report.
- Rendered inside a navigation landmark with a descriptive accessible name.
- Entries are a real list of links, so screen readers announce the item count.
- The active entry is identified with
aria-current, not colour alone. - Selecting an entry moves keyboard focus to the target heading, not just the scroll position.
- Targets keep clear of sticky headers, supporting Focus Not Obscured (Minimum).
- Sticky mode collapses into a disclosure on small screens and at 400 percent zoom.
In practice

Security and privacy
Table of Contents runs inside your tenant as a SharePoint Framework solution and follows the permissions already assigned to each page.
Data handling
Content and settings are stored with the page in SharePoint. The web part does not create a separate data store.
External services
The web part renders content from your own tenant. Any external service is one your authors choose to embed.
API permissions
Permissions requested at deployment are listed in the installation guide and approved by an administrator before use. Details to be confirmed
Tenant and access control
Content inherits SharePoint permissions. Readers see it only if they can already open the page it sits on.

Answers
Frequently asked questions
What if the page has no headings?
The web part stays hidden for readers and shows authors a prompt explaining that headings are required.
Does it update when the page is edited?
Yes. The list is generated at render time, so it always reflects the current headings.
Can we limit it to a single section?
Yes. Scope it to one page section so only the headings inside that section are listed.
