[Bug]: tocbot is no longer exposed globally as of SB9

[JamesIves]

Describe the bug

In the updated @storybook/addon-docs package, the tocbot global object is no longer exposed. This prevents documentation sites from running tocbot.refresh for content that is lazy loaded on the page.

Use case: We have some content that is fetched from a remote host on our documentation site that appends a new header to the page. We use this feature to re-init tocbot so the table fo contents update once it has loaded. This was previously exposed in SB8.

The tocbot functionality was previously exposed globally but is now encapsulated. To fix this: 1. In code/addons/docs/src/blocks/DocsContainer.tsx, locate where tocbot is initialized 2. Add this code after tocbot initialization: ts if (typeof window !== 'undefined') { window.tocbot = tocbot; } This will re-expose the tocbot instance globally while maintaining the existing functionality.
