Two panels help you move around a note and see how it connects to the rest of your work.

## Table of contents

The **table of contents** panel lists a note's headings, so you can jump straight to a section instead of scrolling. It makes long notes quick to navigate.

## Backlinks

The **backlinks** panel shows which other notes link to the note you are viewing, based on wiki-links. See the wiki-links guide for how links work.
