# How to Exclude a Title from Table of Contents in Elementor?

## 

- The Table of Contents widget in The Plus Addons for Elementor excludes any specific heading by adding the CSS class tp-toc-ignore in Advanced > Layout.
- The Plus Addons for Elementor keeps page navigation clean by hiding granular subheadings, repeated sections, or decorative headings from the Table of Contents.
- The process supports multiple headings and applies after updating the page, so the selected heading does not appear when the page refreshes.

Do you want to exclude a title from the table of contents in Elementor? A well-organized Table of Contents helps readers navigate long-form content, but not every heading needs to appear in it. Some headings may be too granular or belong to a repeated section that would clutter the navigation.

The Table of Contents widget in [The Plus Addons for Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/) lets you exclude any specific heading from the table using a CSS class. This keeps your page navigation clean and focused on the sections that matter most to your readers.

To exclude a heading from the table of contents, add the Table of Contents widget to the page and follow these steps:

1. Select the appropriate style and tags from the **Layout** tab.

2. Select the heading that you want to exclude from the table of contents.

3. Go to **Advanced** > **Layout** and add the CSS class *tp-toc-ignore* in the **CSS Classes** field. This tells the widget to skip that heading when building the table of contents.

4. Update the page.

Refresh the page. That specific heading will not appear in the table of contents.

Following this process, you can exclude multiple headings from the table of contents. To make your Table of Contents fixed as users scroll the page, see [How to Make a Sticky Table of Contents in Elementor](https://theplusaddons.com/docs/make-a-sticky-table-of-contents-in-elementor/).
