Synchronizing the table of contents

This topic illustrates how to synchronize the Navigation view and the Content view.

About this task
When you open a new topic by the link attached to the previous topic you read, you won't see any change take place correspondingly in the Navigation view.

To locate the current topic in the Navigation view, click Show in Table of Contents (Show in table of contents) on the tool bar of the Content view.

To keep the Navigation view and the Content view synchronous in operation all the time, click Link with Contents (Link with Contents) on the tool bar of the Content view. And click the button again, if you want to disable this function.

Note: If you have filtered the Navigation view and then try to synchronize the Navigation view for a topic that does not meet your filter criteria, the synchronization does not occur because the topic has been filtered out of the Navigation view by your filter settings. The topic title for the currently displayed topic is not highlighted in the Navigation view.
