How to link section titles to the Table of Contents in InDesign?

How can I link section titles to the Table of Contents in InDesign? I’ve set up multiple sections in my document using section markers, and I want each section title to appear automatically in the TOC. However, they’re not showing up when I generate it. Am I missing a style setting or specific step to include section markers or titles in the TOC? Any guidance on how to properly structure this would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

TOCs are defined and driven by paragraph styles. You can have a section marker appear in the TOC, but it needs to be applied an exclusive paragraph style, that is also selected and included in the TOC setup.
