Restore full view of heading outline/TOC
Please restore a full-height side panel option for the document heading outline. The current floating overlay obscures main content and only shows 7 headers w/out needing to scroll. This makes it impossible to get a full overview of the headings and adds a ton of uncessary scroll-and-search fussiness to the navigation (exacerbated by undifferentiated text styling that makes it hard to wayfind w/in the visible headings).
Beyond navigation, headings are critical content that reveal the structure and core ideas of a document. A full heading view is a basic feature (standard in much simpler competitor apps) essential for notetaking & writing from an outline.
The new pin/stats update to the overlay is a nice touch, but it doesn't solve the core problem of a too-small but still in-the-way window. What's needed is what was there before—an option for a sidebar panel at full height. Please, please bring this back!

I would also like a TOC block that could be inserted directly into the document. That would also be useful. But I do agree that the current iteration of the TOC is less usable.
Also in favour of this. Have switched to writing long-form in Craft, where this is implemented perfectly.
Perhaps an option for both. Floating vs full page selected in object type settings. And with that an encyclopedia view that shows the TOC on the right side panel.
The tiny floating one is nice for objects that don't have a lot of headings.
Agreed, the sidepanel is the perfect place for something like this to live, in addition to the floating view.
