Hello

In WORD, you can use the navigation pane to view the style hierarchy of your document. I was wondering if there is something similar to a navigation pane in InDesign.

Navigation pane  in WORD:

You can use the bookmarks panel for navigation (Window > Interactive > Bookmarks).

It opens up empty at first. You can manually add bookmarks to the pages/sections you need to jump to.

Or, if you want to use the same Paragraph Style-based Navigation as in Word, create a TOC as Barb Binder explained, and be sure to enable Create PDF Bookmarks in the TOC dialog box. Then the InDesign Bookmark panel is populated. Double-click the entries to jump to those locations in ID.

Hi ashimg,

As Aman said there is no navigation pane in InDesign. However, you may share your suggestions here: Adobe InDesign Feedback

This is the best way of communicating to the Engineering and Product Management teams regarding issues and suggestions so they can be implemented in future releases.

Srishti

What you can do is generate a table of contents in InDesign via Layout > Table of Contents. It will pick up the headings (as long as you created paragraph styles) and create a list that looks just like yours. If you don't need to print it, you could put in on the pasteboard to the left or right of page one.
