How to go about creating a Confluence table of contents

For a clear table of contents, text formatting with headings 1 through 6 is necessary. These are basically similar to the headings H1 to H6 in HTML format.

1. Inserting the table of contents: after formatting all headings, add the table of contents in the editor by clicking on the "plus symbol" in the navigation bar. Now select "Contents", whereupon the configuration window opens.
2. Configuration: In this section you make all the necessary settings, which you can keep an eye on via the "Preview" button. Once all configurations are completed, click "Insert".
