Expand and Collapse all headers

Hi,

is there a way I haven't found to collapse all headers in a document? For long documents it would be really nice to have!

    Hello,

    I've created a Dropbox Paper document that has a significant number of headers and I was wondering if there is a way to expand and/or collapse all headers at one time? It would make it much easier to navigate the document if they could all be collapsed in one action.

    Thanks!

      Hi jackzam - welcome to our Community and thanks for using Paper! 

      As you correctly noticed there's no way to expand/collapse all the headers within a Paper doc at the moment. I like the idea though :wink:

      As such, I'll make sure your comments are passed along to our dev team - thanks so much for your feedback and this feature request!

      If there's anything you'd like to add, please let me know.

    Hi there, currently this isn’t possible on a Dropbox Paper doc, since it can only be done on an individual basis, however I’ll forward this suggestion to our dev team for their consideration in future!

    Voted for this. Also need it to manage large project files.

    Until now you can simply use these bookmarklets. Just add this as URL for a bookmark.

    Uncollapse All

    javascript:%24%28".dmc-button.collapsable-section-handle.collapsable-section-handle-collapsed.hpx-button"%29.click%28%29

    Collapse All

    javascript:%24%28".dmc-button.collapsable-section-handle.hpx-button"%29.click%28%29

    It would make it easier to work with.  Also take a look at workflowy.com for there ability to collapse/expand and move items - could this be implemented for headers and lists in Dropbox-paper? That would be awesome!

     

    Thanks otherwise for a wonderful tool!

    @laurinstahl:

     

    How did you get the bookmarklets working? Can you share additional details?

     

    Thanks,

    This feature would be great and would make Paper a lot easier to work with!

    I would love to see this happen. Especially helpful for running multiple meeting minutes with different dates as different sections but in the same document.
