How do I create a table of contents that includes both child pages and their headers?

As the title says, I'm interested in creating a table of contents on a parent page that serves as navigation for the entire section. 

I have a parent page called 'Weekly Client Meetings'. It's blank and we're hoping to put a TOC on it. 

The parent page has 5 child pages, each representing a different client.

Each subpage has 50+ headers that are just dates of past sessions, each representing a table with a bunch of variables captured in each meeting.

The goal is for leadership to be able to navigate directly to a meeting report via the TOC on the parent page without needing to scroll a bunch and just generally have a less clean experience in the subpages. 

It should automatically update. I've seen this in the past and am having trouble replicating the experience.

Hi @Danielle and welcome to the Community

I'm not sure you can do that natively... but there's still marketplace https://marketplace.atlassian.com/ . There might be an app that would do just that.

Having said that... with 50 headings per page, all being dates, that Child Page macro would be extremely difficult to navigate. If the goal is to avoid scrolling, it kind of misses the mark, doesn't it?

You would achieve the same if each meeting was a standalone page in the tree rather than an entry with a heading on a page - that features 49 more such meeting notes.

Thank you, Kristian. That was a bit of a reductive explanation. Despite the scrolling, it would still be a less frustrating experience for these particular users.

I'll check out the marketplace!
