What you see (mode: BV or CV) depends on what mode was opened last.
Change your view with the buttons

The TOC is simple, if you keep in mind the word: NESTED

Place the cursor on (do not highlight the text) the text to ALSO be used for the TOC entry, pull down the selection box (defaults to normal if the insert point is not in a header) and select your header level.

I use:
H1 for the Book Title
H2 for Parts (if a book has ben divided that way)
H3 for Chapters (and other "sections" i want to appear)


IMHO using a "Word processor" to make an E-Pub results in a bloated mess of crappy coding.
There is still a lot Sigil does not do for you (it may require hand coding in CV), but it rarely

Sigil does not have controls to color text (Color?. It all appears as shades of gray on my reader). That is usually coded in the style sheet (If it is not: another example of sloppy code), where the color can be adjusted in a single change.
