Add a Table of Contents to your Simplebooklet

Give your readers a clickable index of everything inside your booklet — so they can jump straight to the section they care about instead of flipping through page by page. You can generate a Table of Contents automatically with the Table of Contents Specialist AI agent, or build one yourself in the Info section of the Design Tab. Either way, it lives in your booklet's navbar and updates in real time as you refine it.

Why Add a Table of Contents?

Not every reader wants to read everything. Some are looking for the pricing section. Some want the case study on page 14. If they can't find what they're looking for quickly, they leave — not because your content isn't valuable, but because navigating it feels like work.

A Table of Contents removes that friction. It shows readers exactly what's inside and lets them jump straight to what matters to them, which means more of them actually get to the parts you most want them to see.

Two Ways to Get Started

You can build your Table of Contents from either the AI Agents tab or the Info section of the Design Tab. Both open the same customization panel — the difference is whether you start with an AI-generated index or a blank one.

Option 1: Generate with the Table of Contents Specialist

The Table of Contents Specialist scans your booklet and builds a ready-to-go index of sections. Works best on booklets with 8 or more pages.

1. Open your Dashboard and click Design on your booklet.
2. Click the AI Agents button at the top of the left-hand toolbar.
3. Toggle on the Table of Contents Specialist and click Run Your Agents.
4. You'll get a notification when your agent is done — it turns green in the panel. You can also check the AI Agent Status indicator in the top-right of the page at any time.
5. Click the pencil icon next to the Table of Contents Specialist to review and customize the generated index.

Once activated, the agent automatically turns on the Table of Contents in your booklet's navbar. If you ever want to toggle it back off, head to Design → Info.

Option 2: Add Manually from the Info Section

Prefer to build it yourself, or want to make edits later? The Info section of the Design Tab is where the Table of Contents lives — both to build it manually and to toggle it on or off in your booklet.

1. Open your Dashboard and click Design on your booklet.
2. In the left-hand toolbar, click Info.
3. Toggle on Table of Contents.
4. Click the pencil icon next to it to open the customization panel.

Customize Your Table of Contents

Both paths land you in the same editor. Here's what you can do inside.

Generate sections with AI. Click the Run Agent button to have the Table of Contents Specialist scan your booklet and generate suggested sections based on your content. You can edit, reorder, or delete anything it produces.

Add sections manually. Type a section name and its page number in the Add bar at the top, then click Add. New entries slot themselves into the correct spot by page number.

Set the hierarchy. Use the B / indent toggle on each row to make an entry a bold primary section or an indented subsection.

Reorder sections. Entries automatically stay in page order. If you have multiple sections on the same page, drag the grip handle to reorder them.

Edit or delete. Update a section name or page number anytime — the list re-sorts automatically. Click the trash icon to remove a section entirely.

Toggle page numbers. In the Settings section, choose whether page numbers appear alongside your section titles.

Live Preview

As you make changes, a live preview drawer opens on the right showing exactly how your Table of Contents will look to your readers in the navbar.

Save Your Changes

Click Done to save. Your Table of Contents is now live in the Info section of your booklet's navbar, ready to help your audience move through your content with ease.

How This Impacts the Audience Journey

The Table of Contents supports the Attention and Immersion stages of the Audience Journey.

At Attention, it signals right away that your booklet is organized and easy to navigate — which builds confidence and reduces the urge to bounce.

At Immersion, it keeps readers moving through your content without friction. Instead of losing momentum searching for a section, they can jump straight to it and keep engaging.
