What is a table of contents

You can add a section to your site that shows a Table of contents, featuring key parts of the page.

How to add a table of contents to a page on your Google Sites website step-by-step with images

Step 1

Open your site in editing mode by double-clicking it in Google Drive at https://drive.google.com or Google Sites at https://sites.google.com/new.

Then select Insert in the top right.

Step 2

Find the Table of contents element on the right and click it.

Step 3

A table of contents section gets added to your site.

Any section with text fields you set up as Headings appears in the table of contents.

If you haven’t added any, your Table of contents section will tell you to Add Headings, and they will appear in your table of contents.
