Create a table of contents in Lucidspark using the paths feature

Hi ​@ediefreshtrackshx 

You can find the table of contents (TOC) feature in the bottom right-hand corner of the document page in Lucidspark (Please see the screenshot below). 

After setting up the Table of Contents (TOC), you can try saving the board with the TOC Open or expanded. Lucidspark saves the state of the board (including whether the TOC is open or closed) as it appears when the board is saved.

Share the link to the Lucidspark board with the Users. When users open the board for the first time, they will see it in the state it was saved, including the TOC being visible.

If you want users to be guided explicitly, you can consider the following:

1. Add an introductory frame or sticky note on the board with instructions for using the TOC.
2. Mention the TOC and how to navigate it in the email or message sharing the board link.

This ensures that users immediately understand how to use the TOC effectively upon their first interaction with the board.

Hope this helps!

Thank you, Ria.
I am using the web version, and I believe that’s just auto-saving.
I have my TOC set up already just want it to display on default-open when new folks come in.

Is there another way of doing this for web version?
Thanks,

Hi ​@Kelsey Gaag 

Can you help resolve this issue please? 

Of course ​@Ria S, thank you for adding your knowledge to this post!

​@ediefreshtrackshx, to clarify, is the issue that you’d like when your documents opens for it to open on the Table of Contents you’ve created? 

Yes. Thanks.

Thanks, I’ll give this a try.

This is still unclear to me.
Not sure how to put the TOC inside a frame, and it also seems redundant to creating a path with all of the frames.

Thanks for continued advice on this one.

Hi ​@ediefreshtrackshx, 

Thank you for the reply! I apologize, my explanation didn’t clarifying that the Table Of Contents creates a frame that you can add to path and then link to. So you don’t need to create an additional frame. Does this help? 

Sorry it is still unclear.

My TOC is already created, as I created a bunch of frames with unique content.

So creating a Path with frames to navigate is essentially recreating the TOC.
Thanks,
Edie

Hi ​@ediefreshtrackshx, 

Thank you for the reply. Yes, it is essentially creating it again because you are linking the frames created in the TOC to a path. Creating a path will allow you to link to the contents you have created in the TOC. 

This is a workaround, since linking to the TOC directly isn’t available. Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.
