Boot17 1,536 Posted April 13 Share Posted April 13 Very cool. I wondered if one reason Evernote didn't have this before is because they didn't want to encourage long notes because those were more prone to sync problems. Now with the very robust RTE, sync issues aren't as big of a problem (at least in my own usage and experience). Nice to see them implementing this. 1 Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted April 13 Level 5 Share Posted April 13 @Cristiano478, are all those nested headings actually links to other notes? That's what I'd think of as a TOC; I wouldn't need it to be collapsible headings. But good! If they are note links, then I note with despair that they are blue, not green. Would you be willing to reply to @Federico Simionato on X that a number of users have noticed this and are wondering WT Actual F (not to put words into anyone's mouth)? 2 Link to comment
Level 5* s2sailor 2,428 Posted April 13 Level 5* Share Posted April 13 It is not clear to me if those are links to notes or to specific sections within notes (intranote linking), which would be very cool. Link to comment
Evernote Expert agsteele 3,059 Posted April 14 Evernote Expert Share Posted April 14 It is linking to sections within a note. I believe it will provide an anchor link for each section started with a heading. 5 1 Link to comment
ghon 95 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Did you notice: On Evernote Web, V10.84.3, an anchor is displayed on the far right side if you hover with the mouse over the line where the section heading is. This can be copied and an internal link is created which jumps to the section whenn activated. The link can be edited like a "normal" internal evernote link. Pretty cool. Although, one first observation: It would be better to automatically enter the heading text name instead of the technical link name! Link to comment

ghon 95 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Voila: The first is the image of the line with Heading 1. On the far right you see the rectangle with a link symbol inside. By pressing this, the anchor link is copied to clipboaed, see image 2. If I insert the link on the top of the note,the activation of the link jumps to that anchor. However I did not see that this happens if the link is placed at another note, i.e. it jumps to that note but not exactly to the anchor position 🤔 2 Link to comment

I hope this means really "Windows clipboard" with text and address 🙏. It would be a killing feature to be able to insert such an URL to other programs like Outlook, Excel and Word and see it there as a link to a section in an EN-note...

thefryhole 95 Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Evernote links are no longer green. Instead, all links -- internal as well as external -- are blue. No more visual cues to help you quickly identify what's what. Much productive. ETA: Windows 10.84.3 The scroll bar they removed from the home screen remains missing. The keyboard arrows are the only navigation tool. Given their move to eliminate the home screen from mobile, I wonder if it will be disappearing from desktop, too. Link to comment
Level 5 Dave-in-Decatur 4,006 Posted April 15 Level 5 Share Posted April 15 Here's an example of the link: evernote:///view/########/s316/bb213bf3-f388-4900-b2e8-c9208e3f225f#5b930346-f121-4b84-a43b-c9e46280de8b/f027e0e6-ecb4-1838-5cb3-bf5c2d3476ba. It is not yet functional from outside Evernote. Within Evernote, it takes you to the note, but not the point in the note where the anchor is. Link to comment

Coming from outside should always open a new window Text editing cursor should be placed in front of the anchored headline and/or note window should be scrolled to place the anchored headline at the top edge Pasting a link to an anchor should display the headline text as URL text (not the note title) for the moment it is very hard to create a local TOC on top of a note because all links carry the same stupid note title 😉 Finally (so far): anchored links should be "life" at the end ... and display a headline text even if that is changed - like we like from Title-styled internal links to notes.

eric99 1,079 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The table of contents links don't work in the exported html edit: They don't work in the exported pdf either Link to comment
Mike P 2,972 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 The add table of contents function is now in the / or insert menu as of 10.85.2 Only problem I've found so far is that the links don't work if they are to a sub heading (e.g. medium) within a main heading (e.g. large) that is folded. This just reinforces the need to have a command to open and close all foldable sections. Also Im sure that ctrl+Home used to take you to the top of the note. That doesn't work anymore. It's important to be able to easily go back to your TOC. Best option I've found at the moment is F2 (to go to the title, although the screen doesn't scroll) followed by the down arrow. Also the TOC items are not dynamic, so if you change one of the headings you need to remake the TOC (or manually edit) - I guess I can live with that. 1 1 Link to comment

Level 5 PinkElephant 8,785 Posted August 3 Level 5 Share Posted August 3 The TOC is as it was created. It doesn’t automatically update, and I’m not aware of a manual way to kickstart a link update. Link to comment
Bill D 2 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 thanks for the update. Would be nice to do it like word. Link to comment
MvdH 487 Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 5 minutes ago, Bill D said: thanks for the update. Would be nice to do it like word. Word does it even better. It provides a navigation pane if opened, on the left, showing all headings always up to date. Allowing dragging the order of headings and their content, deleting sections as a whole, navigating very fast. Selecting a whole section, copying it to clipboard. That navigation functionality would REALLY help Evernote and steering in the content of notes @Federico Simionato 3 Link to comment

Thereby a box is generated in which the TOC is automatically based on H1, H2 and H3 headlines within the note. Link to comment
