According to: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/guide/navigator.html?DbPAR=SHARED#bm_id3147008 All contents of the Navigator window are referred to here as "categories," whether titles, sheets, tables, text frames, graphics, OLE objects, sections, hyperlinks, references, indexes or comments. I believe the following changes are needed to align with Navigator in LO 6.4 1. "titles" and "sheets" should be removed. 2. "headings" added to beginning of the list. 3. "drawing objects" added to the end of the list. I am willing to make the changes in the master, if someone can confirm that this is the needed change. Additional question: I could not find any documentation on the Reference category (and tried several different ways -- unsuccessfully -- to get a "reference" to show up in Navigator). Should I file a separate bug for documentation about reference?
The navigator categories depends on the module. Sheets are displayed in Calc and Headings are displayed in Writer, etc... The referred help page contents is generic and covers objects of several document types.
(In reply to Olivier Hallot from comment #1) > The referred help page contents is generic and covers objects of several document types. Thanks for clarification. Should I do nothing then? Or maybe change "titles" to "heading" and add "drawing objects"? Also, a new question. > The navigator categories depends on the module According to help page: "The Navigator displays all types of objects contained in a document." I would propose to drop "all". For example, in Draw, hyperlinks, comments, images are not shown in the Navigator (and maybe more). Also, in Impress, hyperlinks, comments, images, tables are not shown (for example). Finally, (for now) QR codes are not shown (even though it is a drawing object).
Actually, I am wrong. The page has a selector tag that display contents depending on the application (*). The selector is activated by the parameter DbPAR= in the page URL, therefore for Calc, this is what you see: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/guide/navigator.html?DbPAR=CALC#bm_id3147008 and for Writer: https://help.libreoffice.org/6.4/en-US/text/shared/guide/navigator.html?DbPAR=WRITER#bm_id3147008 (look at the "related topics" on the bottom). The selector DbPAR is activated if you land on the Help coming from Calc or Writer. If you want a more precise description for all modules, please provide the flat contents you wish per module here, and I'll make it work. Now on the fact that QRcodes, signature lines and other objects don't show in the navigator, I think this is another issue that indeed deserves its own bug entry.

As best as I can tell these two pages are identical. > Now on the fact that QRcodes, signature lines and other objects don't show > in the navigator, I think this is another issue that indeed deserves its own > bug entry. Yes -- that was also my point. To summarize: I propose to make the following changes on that online help page. 1. Change "titles" to "headings" (because "headings" does show up in Navigator, but I do not think that titles appears). 2. Add "drawing objects" to the list (because it appears in both Writer and Calc navigator). 3. Drop the word "all" from the sentence: "The Navigator displays all types of objects contained in a document." (because as we agree, there are some objects that are not shown in the document). If those changes seem appropriate, then I am willing to make the commits. And may I add you as code reviewer? (and I guess you do not know anything about the Reference category in Navigator?) Thanks.
