How to Create Table of Contents in Google Docs

When you have a large document in Google Docs, it’s not a bad idea to create a table of contents. In this way, you will make navigating the document much easier. Google Docs includes an option that, once you’ve set up the document properly, will automatically create a table of contents. You will be able to choose two types of display, regular table of contents, like in a book, and linked table of contents, where you can click on a title in the table and you will immediately go to the part of the document where that title is located.

Watch our video tutorial where we show you how to create table of contents in Google Docs, using Windows 10 and Mozilla Firefox.
