Adding a table of contents to your article

The table of contents is a navigational tool that helps users find the information they need. It lists all the topics and subtopics in your help article, and it is found in two different locations depending on the knowledge base layout you have chosen. The table of content will automatically use your Notion headings as navigational links within your article.

This layout displays the table of contents at the very top of your help article. Please note that you have to enable it via the HelpKit dashboard /setting page.

To enable the TOC for your help center layout simply:

The TOC of your documentation layout can be found on the very right top corner of your help article. It is automatically displayed by default and does not need to be activated.

In order for search engines to better find and rank your help article we highly recommend not using Header 1 (H1) titles in your Notion page as HelpKit will automatically give your article title the H1 tag.

That means that you should structure your headings and subheadings by using the Header 2 (H2) and Header 3 (H3) tags in Notion. These two headers are also the ones displayed in your table of contents.
