SharePoint Web Parts Essentials
CNX On this page
Create a table of contents for the page, based on the heading styles applied to its content.
Overview
CNX On this page creates a table of contents for the current page, based on the heading styles applied to its content. Readers see what the page covers at a glance and can jump straight to the section they need.
Because it's built from the page's headings, the table of contents follows your content as you edit it.
Features
- Automatic table of contents. Build links from the page's headings, with no separate list to maintain.
- Faster navigation. Let readers jump directly to the section they need.
- Better page structure. Encourage authors to use real heading styles, which also helps accessibility.
Configuration
CNX On this page reads the page itself, so its main input is your content's structure. Configure the web part in the property pane: with the page in edit mode, select the web part, then select Edit web part (the pencil icon).
| Setting | What it controls |
|---|---|
| Headings | Apply heading styles to text on the page; each heading becomes an entry in the table of contents. |
Usage
Once the package is deployed to your tenant, add CNX On this page to a modern SharePoint page:
Open the page and select Edit.
Hover where you want the web part to appear and select the + (Add a new web part) button.
Search for CNX On this page and select it.
Apply heading styles to the text on the page, then check that each section appears in the table of contents.
Select Republish to share your changes.
