<title>Navigating with a page list or table of contents</title>
<p>When you open a file, you should have a side pane on the left side of the window.

<p>Some documents have an index or table of contents, which you can display
in the side pane. Select the <gui>Outline</gui> button at the bottom of the
side pane to view it.</p>
<note style = "tip">
<p>Most documents don't use this feature, so you won't be able to view
their index in the side pane.</p>
