Add a table of contents to long pages Usability Guideline

Description

On long pages, provide a list of contents with links that take users to the corresponding content farther down the page.

Help

For long pages with distinct sections, add a short, clickable list of sections at the top of the page. This provides a page outline, and allows users to quickly navigate to specific information.

Applicable standards

Note: The guidelines.usability.gov website has been down since July 2020, although www.usability.gov is still operating and the PDF version of the guidelines is still available.
