: How to create 'sub' tables of contents for each section in a table of contents in Adobe InDesign? I have a document with multiple sections that has a table of contents (TOC) at the beginning,

@Caterina889

Of course you can!
You need to create a new paragraph style (let's say H-Section).
At the start of each section put a text box with the H-Section.

Create a table of Style that lists your entries H1, H2, H3 e H-Section. To the entry from H-Section set a Paragraph Style that makes the text start from "In Next Frame" (Keep Options - Start Paragraph).

When you create the TOC the Style set to H-Section will make the text jump to another frame. All you have to do is creating a threaded text frame in each section starting page.

If you break up the document and reassemble the parts as a Book, you can have one TOC for the book (turn on the "Include Book Documents" checkbox) and an individual TOC in any of the chapter documents (turn off "Include Book Documents").

The alternative would be to duplicate the paragraph styles in question and give them slightly different names, then use those for your secondary TOC. The duplicates would be "based on" your main styles, so would echo any changes made to them.
