Headings-based navigation menu on right-hand side of a Note

What is the challenge?

Currently, the Table of Contents feature in Notes is very useful however lengthy Notes can lend themselves to near-endless scrolling. There is no side navigation to view the different sections/headings of a Note.

What is the impact?

One loses sight of all other sections in a Note. Current workarounds:

1. Users must view the Note in a second browser tab in order to view the Table of Contents, so that they can keep track of where they are when editing the Note in the first tab.

2. Ctrl + Home to move back up just below the Table of Content, to then navigate back down to the desired section. This can require going up and down quite a bit when editing a long document.

We use content-rich notes for research, design, long lists of embryonic requirements, creating guidelines, etc. Keeping navigation at the top of the document, while also lacking anchored headings, can make it difficult to know where one is in a document at any given point. As a result, it takes recall to remember where one is, and additional effort to move content to a more relevant section within a Note as needed.

Describe your idea

A side navigation menu for a Note that is based on heading hierarchy - for example replicating the list in the Table of Contents, except with added chevrons to collapse sections of sub-headings.

File navigation (left-hand folders & files in Aha!) could therefore be replicated for document/headings based navigation (e.g. right-hand side) by including chevrons to collapse navigation sections based on heading hierarchy.

See the attached screenshot 📸 → For example, the popular Obsidian note taking app has collapsible headings-led navigation on the right-hand side of documents/notes. The menu on the left-hand side is similar to Aha! Knowledge in that it lists other folders and documents in a workspace (or "vault" in Obsidian speak). Also, the workspace file navigation is collapsible in Obsidian.

So, within Aha!, one could gain some screen estate for document navigation by:

A) collapsing the right-hand side menu for workspace files and folders with a chevron "<" --AND/OR--

B) viewing the right-hand document navigation more comfortably when expanding the Note in full view. ↗️

Both workspace files (folders/Notes) navigation and document navigation (headings) could be collapsible.
