# Outline Panel

The Outline Panel displays the **heading structure of the current document**, giving you a bird's-eye view of your article's skeleton and letting you jump to any section with a single click.

> [!NOTE]Switch to the "Outline" tab in the left sidebar to view it. It sits alongside the "Files", "Backlinks", and other tabs.

## Features

1. Automatically parses Markdown headings (levels 1–6)
2. Displays headings with **indentation by hierarchy**, making the structure clear at a glance
3. Click any heading to scroll the editor to the corresponding position
4. Highlights the **current reading position** (synchronized with scrolling)

## Usage

1. Switch to the "Outline" tab at the top of the left sidebar.
2. View the heading list for the current document (with hierarchy levels).
3. Click any heading to instantly scroll the editor to that position.

## Heading Levels

The Outline supports all 6 heading levels:

```markdown
# Level 1 Heading
## Level 2 Heading
### Level 3 Heading
#### Level 4 Heading
##### Level 5 Heading
###### Level 6 Heading
```

## Use Cases

- **Long document navigation**: For documents spanning thousands of words, the outline is far more efficient than scrolling
- **Structure inspection**: Plan your outline before writing, and verify chapter completeness at any time during writing
- **Section jumping**: Click to navigate instantly, no manual scrolling needed

> [!TIP]The Outline and  complement each other: the Outline shows the "structure of a single document", while the Graph shows the "relationships between notes".
