Using the Contents Sidebars

Use the contents sidebars to navigate in the current book or in the current topic if a On This Page sidebar is also available on the right.

Using the Left Sidebar

The sidebar on the left side of every help page provides a table of contents of the current book, along with other controls. The table of contents is an expandable and collapsible tree view with links to all help pages in the book. When you go to a new page in the help site, the left sidebar automatically selects and moves focus to the page that you’re viewing. This helps you see where you’re at in the book.

Expand or collapse the TOC button
