Make sections foldable (collapsible headings) #1841
Description
Activity
I would love either this or the headline overview from the other issue being implemented (or both).
Thanks for proposing this.
As the outline view has been added now and provides an alternative way to achieve the same goals i'll close this issue.Well, to be honest we had this feature on our feature planning whiteboard recently and I agree that it's a useful one. So maybe let's keep this open? 😁
There are 2 things to be added:
- Collapsible sections #3646
- Add collapse function on headings (like https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/video-collapsible-headings-c7b03e92-a397-479d-b989-57393daf2d65)
- steps:
- Add toolbar item to fold/unfold all headings
- Add fold/unfold functions on every headings
- Handle copy/paste a folding heading
- issues to consider:
- Only support folding on H1 level or all heading levels?
- press "Enter" at the end of folding heading should force new line to have same heading level?
You're right I totally missed #3646, let me actually extract the first part of this ticket and the discussion and move over to that one.
- moved this to 🧭 Planning evaluation (don't pick) in 📝 Productivity team

Spoilers/foldable details sections are tracked separately in #3646
This ticket remains about making existing sections like headings foldable.
Initial report
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
For large pages, it is hard to have a vision of the structure, or to navigate within the page to find the right section / paragraph.
Describe the solution you'd like
It would be great to be able to collapse (fold) and open (unfold) sections, thanks to a small arrow on the left. Sections would be based on headers (H1, H2, ...), with subsections that would also be collapsible (foldable). In addition, a button on the top would fold/unfold all.
Describe alternatives you've considered
Having a menu on the top or on the right sidebar (also with collapsible sections)
