Table of contents - This is a preference item. This widget comes up automatically on most pages. It is a convenient way to access pages that have a lot of material on them. You can click on a title in the table of contents and the page takes you directly to that item without scrolling to find it. This is also a widget that can be removed right away to avoid clutter or confusion on your pages.
