Make your own Table of Contents in Google with Bookmarks

I never remember how to do this so I’m adding the quick steps here. I know there are ways of auto generating a Table of Contents in Google Docs, but I don’t know, I just like making my own. Don’t judge me.

  1. Go through your body of text and Select the headers/text you want to link to in your hand-spun TOC.
  2. Select Insert > Bookmark
  3. Go to the top of your doc and make a little list of things you want in your TOC
  4. Select one, Hit Command + K
  5. Click the Bookmarks > to expand the available bookmarks list
  6. Click on the bookmark you want to link to.
  7. Enjoy!

Here’s mine!
