🧠 Smart Outline

Smart Outline is one of Ophel's core features. It auto-parses AI conversation content into a structured navigation tree, letting you navigate freely in long conversations.

Overview

Use Cases

• 📚 Quickly locate sections in long AI responses
• 🔍 Find specific questions when reviewing history
• 📋 Grasp overall structure when organizing thoughts

Multi-level Navigation

The outline auto-parses two types of content:

User Questions

Every user message becomes a first-level node in the outline for quick access.

Heading Structure

Markdown headings (H1-H6) in AI responses are parsed as nested child nodes:

📝 User Question: Tell me about React core concepts
   ├── # React Introduction
   │   ├── ## What is React
   │   └── ## React Features
   ├── # Core Concepts
   │   ├── ## Components
   │   ├── ## JSX
   │   ├── ## Props and State
   │   └── ## Lifecycle
   └── # Summary
