Hi,
I have been playing with the app some more and I think I have found a
simpler change that will solve the issue for me.
When I am scrolling down a page such as WP:GAB, the navbar at the top of
the page disappears, which takes the TOC icon away with it. I was finding
it easy to get lost in a mass of text when scrolling down the page; hence
my request for collapsed sections. However when I scroll up the navbar
reappears. Can you make the navbar remain visible at all times?
I have other feature requests but this would be the most important right
now. Other requests:
* Facilitate the viewing of page history within the app
* Allow images to be disabled
* Facilitate easy access to the Refdesk, Teahouse, and other help resources
for both readers and editors
Thanks,
Pine

Another good reason for not collapsing the sections in
the content area is
because of the Table of Contents flyout. Having collapsed sections in the
content area will make the TOC flyout redundant. We wanted to address the
need for collapsed sections by giving an easy access to TOC.

Thank Pine,
I believe its first critical to understand why a user needs this.
We have to understand a user's need instead of responding to an interface
request.
There may be better ways of serving the same need. Typically one user
group tends to think for themselves, but as a UX team, we need to serve the
needs of users across the board.
Kindly explain.
Thanks

Hi Vibha,
Um.... If a customer is asking about a possible feature change then I
would ask you to AGF, please. The change may be impossible to implement,
there may be good reasons for the status quo, there may be reasonable
differences of opinion, etc. In this case I am saying that I think there is
a reason to collapse sections even with the TOC flyout, and I have offered
an example of a page where this would be helpful. I would appreciate an
explanation of how this would break the TOC structure.
Thank you (:
