Difference and Reasoning behind using the two different TOC styles

Good Morning,

Since there are two ways to make a TOC:

a. Add TOC

b. Special TOC for document

Our component manuals have a cover, toc, body, and back cover.

Our product manuals are set up by section, and have the toc, and body. Of course a cover and back cover.

So my question is what is the difference in using one or the other toc:? We also have to have bookmarks and links in the toc?

Just thought I would get the real reason behind which one is used for what.

Thanks,

LS

Functionally speaking, there is no difference. They both work the same. It's the scope that varies.

Yes, that is what I don't like about it, though if you have a book with sections and section toc's, I guess there isn't a choice unless a mini toc can be produced.

I was just wondering if there was any other reason behind the two.

Thanks!
