Framer Table of Contents

Framer Table of Contents is a reusable Framer Component that automatically organizes long-form content into a structured navigation menu. It helps visitors quickly jump to specific sections of a page, making articles, documentation, guides, and resource pages easier to browse. Instead of scrolling through lengthy content, users can navigate directly to the information they need, improving both usability and engagement.

Built for Framer's visual editor, the Table of Contents component is fully customizable without writing code. Whether you're creating documentation, blogs, knowledge bases, tutorials, product guides, or marketing resources, a well-designed Framer TOC improves navigation, accessibility, and the overall reading experience.

What is Framer Table of Contents?

A Framer Table of Contents is a navigation component that displays a list of headings from a webpage and allows users to jump directly to specific sections. It acts as an on-page navigation system, making long pages easier to explore while helping readers understand the content structure at a glance.

Table of Contents components are commonly used for documentation, tutorials, blogs, FAQs, technical articles, and educational resources where content is divided into multiple sections.

A typical Framer Table of Contents includes:

• Linked section headings

• Sticky sidebar navigation

• Active section highlighting

• Smooth scrolling

• Nested heading support

• Responsive layouts

• Automatic content organization

Built using reusable Framer Components, every TOC can be customized to match your website's design while maintaining a consistent reading experience.

Integration With Other Components

A Framer Table of Contents works exceptionally well with a Framer Navigation component to create a seamless browsing experience across long-form pages, documentation, and resource libraries. While the main navigation helps visitors move between pages, the TOC provides quick access to individual sections within a page.

For developer documentation or technical tutorials, pairing the TOC with a Framer Code Snippet component allows readers to jump directly to relevant code examples without unnecessary scrolling. If your page contains expandable help content, integrating a Framer FAQ component below the main article gives users quick access to additional answers while keeping the layout organized.

You can also combine the TOC with a Framer Progress component to visually indicate how much of the article has been read, creating a more engaging reading experience for long-form content.

By combining these reusable Framer Components, you can build organized Framer Templates that are easier to navigate, more user-friendly, and optimized for educational content, documentation, and blogs.
