What if we want the navigation pane available for read-only viewers?
And what if we'd like to make the shared link pull up the navigation *by default* so a viewer doesn't have to think about it?
Are either of these possible? I'm not finding it.

Yes please! and make it so the ToC hyperlinks directly to the section in the document. Right now it says "Sorry, Word Online can't open this link. To go to this link, please open the document in Microsoft Word".
