Hello,
Thank you for contacting us. We apologize for any inconvenience this issue may have caused.
In Rank Math, we add the SiteNavigationElement in your schema automatically when you use the TOC block:

The SiteNavigationElement schema is used to mark up navigational components on a page, such as a table of contents. This schema helps search engines understand the structure of your page.
Here is a guide that explains the SiteNavigationElement Schema and its benefits in detail. https://getcleaningclicks.com/a-quick-guide-to-site-navigation-schema-markup/
Hope that helps, and please do not hesitate to let us know if you need our assistance with anything else.
Where is Schema section in your Rank Math settings
Hi, Can I hide it? The other TOC plugins do not create schema like this!
Hello,
You can remove this Schema by adding the following filter on your website:
add_filter( 'rank_math/json_ld', function( $data, $jsonld ) {
if( isset( $data['toc'] ) ) {
unset( $data['toc'] );
}
return $data;
}, 99, 2);
