Adding a TOC is necessary for some longer articles/pages/etc. Even though using the anchors is useful to provide an interim substitute, this is not really how TOC are generated. And the are some drawback to this method - this below in my proposals for the TOC.
As I understand Wix is still working on this feature and I hope to see it soon deployed for the Wix Editor.
I would like to propose to Wix developers and Prod Mgr some features/behaviors for the TOC:
Current way of using anchors to mimic TOC is a good interim solution, but it has some drawback. For example, if a user clicks on the link generated through the anchor and then hits the back button, instead of going to the TOC, the browser goes to the previous page. I tested this behavior with Chrome, Edge Chromium, Mozilla, and Opera and the behavior is the same, whereas the expectation from the user would have been to go back to the TOC (top of page maybe?)
Have the possibility for TOC to be, for example, on the left side of the page and to remain "still" (or frozen) by highlighting the current topic. Once the user advances to the next topic(s) the TOC remains "still", but the highlighting advanced to the next topic and so on
Include a quick link for the TOC subjects (or at least for those considered important by the page designer/owner) in the form of www.example.com/PageSubject#topic1 or something similar to this (the browser would be able to display this in-page address in the status bar of the page if this is activated). Something like this may be useful for SEO purposes, I guess.
