How to Create a Table of Contents in Coda

Use this interactive demo to learn how to add a clickable table of contents to any Coda document.

Quick summary

A table of contents in Coda is inserted using the Outline block, which automatically generates clickable navigation links from your document's headings. Once added, it updates automatically whenever headings are added or changed — no manual refreshing required.


Steps

  1. Open your Coda document where you want to add a table of contents.
  2. Place your cursor at the spot where you'd like your Table of Contents to appear.
  3. Click the + icon in the left margin or use the / command to open the insert menu.
  4. Type 'Table of Contents' in the search bar and select 'Outline' from the options that appear.
  5. Coda will automatically generate a clickable Table of Contents based on all your document's headings.
  6. Your Table of Contents will update automatically as you add or change headings — no manual refreshing needed.

📌 Why this matters

A table of contents in Coda makes long documents instantly navigable, saving teams time when working with complex project trackers, wikis, or planning docs. The Outline block auto-generates clickable heading links and stays in sync as your document evolves, eliminating the need for manual updates. This feature is especially valuable for collaborative teams who rely on structured Coda documents to manage goals, processes, or knowledge bases. Adding a table of contents improves document usability and ensures every reader can quickly find the section most relevant to them.
