How to create a TOC from scratch?

I have a longish text file and I'd like to create an epub from that file with linkable table of contents at the front of the ebook.

I've read the Sigil manual a few times. I understand that there's a TOC editor that would detect headers.

After importing a text, and created headers for different parts of the text, I could see, from the TOC editor, that Sigil has smartly picked up the various headers as chapter breaks. The chapters seem to be fine..

But.. what now??

At this point, I saved the file as epub. There isn't a table of content using my epub reader.

The manual hasn't gone to the next step about what to do to put the table of content at the front of the book.

I'm sure the experts reading the manual would know what to do next. But as someone who's totally new to the program, I have no clue what I should do next.

Is there a step by step guide to create a TOC?

Thanks very much.
