Outline Panel
The Outline Panel displays the heading structure of the current document, giving you a bird's-eye view of your article's skeleton and letting you jump to any section with a single click.
Note
Switch to the "Outline" tab in the left sidebar to view it. It sits alongside the "Files", "Backlinks", and other tabs.
Features
- Automatically parses Markdown headings (levels 1–6)
- Displays headings with indentation by hierarchy, making the structure clear at a glance
- Click any heading to scroll the editor to the corresponding position
- Highlights the current reading position (synchronized with scrolling)
Usage
- Switch to the "Outline" tab at the top of the left sidebar.
- View the heading list for the current document (with hierarchy levels).
- Click any heading to instantly scroll the editor to that position.
Heading Levels
The Outline supports all 6 heading levels:
# Level 1 Heading
## Level 2 Heading
### Level 3 Heading
#### Level 4 Heading
##### Level 5 Heading
###### Level 6 Heading
Use Cases
- Long document navigation: For documents spanning thousands of words, the outline is far more efficient than scrolling
- Structure inspection: Plan your outline before writing, and verify chapter completeness at any time during writing
- Section jumping: Click to navigate instantly, no manual scrolling needed
Tip
The Outline and 03-Knowledge-Management/04-Knowledge-Graph complement each other: the Outline shows the "structure of a single document", while the Graph shows the "relationships between notes".
