Would be cool if you would autogenerate a ToC of knowledge base articles from the paragraph headings without wasting too much screen real estate. Maybe an option to toggle on and off? Or a sticky box that scrolls with you? Especially for longer articles, this allows the user to get to his content faster or judge better if the answer is in the article.
YES! It is frustrating that this is not already a feature considering that Hubspot does this for their own Academy articles and even advises you to include a a table of contents in their guide to writing knowledge base articles.
As far as I am aware you can insert Anchors within the Knowledge base articles, which would enable you to create a ToC at the top with links to these Anchors
I'd love to have the scrolling ToC that the Hubspot Academy articles have as well. I've created Tables at the top of each of my Knowledge Base articles with anchor tags to each section, but a formal ToC feature that had the option to scroll with the user would be super helpful.
Yes, I second this idea. The Anchor option is great but it's not a scroling ToC like HS has in their KB articles. The scrolling ToC is a better option and is more intuitive for users. What I most disappointed about is that it takes months if not years before HubSpot will listed to it's clients to implement a great idea. I have seen this time and time again in this community for ideas that would be beneficial for the majority of their client base. Great company, good product but just not that responsive to feature request unless it produces additional revenue streams.
A automatically generated TOC, scrolling as well, would be great to make live easier for us who writes the articles and of course for the readers as well. Hope this feature will comming soon. It is all about the customers, Hubspots and ours.
A sticky ToC module for blog posts is REALLY a must have. My client's keep asking for it over and over again. Is the development of this feature already in progress?
I find it extremely frustrating that we cannot update the styling of the knowledge base to match even what hubspot is doing on their very own knowledge base. Look, they have table of contents, modules, everything. HOW can we edit our knowledge base using the deisgn/theme ?
Yes please! At this point, ToC is super hard to create, mainly because it takes so much space when bullet points or numbered list is added. Manually creating a ToC is one thing, but having to play around to create a compact ToC is even worse tbh. A stick ToC would be amazing! Please add this 🙏
I'll just add my voice to the list of people requesting this feature. Manually building ToCs for every article is way too troublesome and then requires you to include it in the body of the article. Having a floating ToC on the left or right side of the page would make navigation much easier. I'm thinking of something similar to the navigation pane in Microsoft Word:
Automatically generate a ToC using the Headings in the article.
Give us the option to manually include/remove certain Headings to/from the ToC.
Pin the ToC to the left or right side of the screen and keep it on screen as the user scrolls.
The user can jump to a Heading by clicking on it in the ToC.
BONUS: As the user scrolls through the article, highlight the Heading they are currently on.
BONUS: Let us copy the anchor link for each Heading by clicking it while reading the article. I consider this feature related to the ToC since these would be the same anchor links used in the ToC. Confluence offers this functionality:
Completely agree on the need for this. It would be a huge timesaver nd help the Knowledge base users.
I'll even add a little piece to this if it hasn't been mentioned yet: When jumping to a header/section of the article, a floating icon should appear at the bottom of the screen to quickly jump back to the top.
