Step 1 - Highlight The Text

Select the text that will be used as the heading in the table of contents.

Step 2 - Change The Paragraph Style

Using the paintbrush on the top right, you can change the paragraph style. For example, the text here is getting styled as an "Introduction". This is the correct size and will automatically add the text to the table of contents.

To prevent confusion, change the text to something unique to only headings.

Sub-categories should be smaller than normal titles, but larger than standard text.

Step 3 - Add The Paragraph Style as a Heading

Select the table of contents icon and press "Edit". Tap the circle next to your font to enable the font as a heading.

Step 5 - Change the Indentation

Select the indent icon to the right of the new enabled style.

Tap once for medium indentation, or twice for high indentation.
