Description Tracey 2023-11-07 16:47:34 UTC
allow sub-sections in the navigator to be "hidden" or "revealed" by making the sub--section branch "collapsible/fold-able" (like the bookmarks & sections)

Activate by clicking on a:
►	right pointing triangle
▼	down pointing triangle

Thanks, Tracey

Which version do you use, Tracey?
Please paste here the full version information copied from Help > About LibreOffice.
Could you please also provide an example document in which we can see such sub-sections? I'm not exactly sure which part of the Navigator you are referring to.
(Outline Folding is already available for Headings since LO 7.2)

Navigator sections hierarchy demo

Hi Tracey,

Is what is shown in the attached demo what you are after?
Comment 3 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2023-11-22 07:57:03 UTC
Right, now I understand it's about actual Sections, nested. My bad.
Looks great, Jim, thanks for picking it up.
Marking as "new", Tracey can confirm that's what she was hoping for.

Indentation of nested sections was already in OOo 3.3, but not collapsible, so marking as inherited.
