Include a fixed box index for every documentation page, displaying the content of the article

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I've been using https://learn.microsoft.com/ for a while. And in pages like this one https://learn.microsoft.com/... there is a section at the top of the page with the content of the article which is ok, but it is pretty unhandy for navigating the content when I'm in the middle of the page, at the button or anywhere else.

And this is a repetitive problem throught most of the documentation.

Describe the solution you'd like

Add the same index as a floating HTML element, to the right hand side of the viewport (which for the most part in unproductice and unused white space).

Here's an example from the Bootstrap site: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/5.3/getting-started/introduction/#quick-start But as you can see, it is not a perfect use case. It should not behave like that when reaching the bottom of the page. See the screen recording.

Describe alternatives you've considered

This is the most I can think of.

Hello, @gewarren

I've seen that the team has implemented this suggestion. But I have to say that it was not what I was expecting.

What I was expecting is to see the actual content of the article ("In this article" section) on the side bar, and not the "Additional resources" section. That way, the readers can move quickly through the different and main sections of their reading.

Something like "Additional resources" should be secondary to this, and be displayed at the bottom of the page (in a section footer) or in a toggleable setiong in that same side bar.

Let me know if you need additional comments from me, please.

Toggleable example from Notion app:

It seems nothing has changed since I opened my ticket #3925. "Additional resources" were already placed in the right column at this time. But not every page has this section. I gave up the hope that this annoying change will be reverted soon and wrote for myself a user script that moves the "In this Article" section back to its usual place. I'll publish it in my ticket.
