Creating and linking to anchors

An anchor is a marker within a page of content. An anchor can be used to direct browsers to specific sections of content within a page.

For example, you may have an your contact details towards the bottom of a page of content, and you might want to create a link directly to this part of the page.

Creating

To create an anchor you need to edit the page and place the cursor where you'd like the anchor to appear. This typically will be at the beginning of a section header or title. Select the anchor icon and name the anchor. Save or update the page.

Linking

You create links to anchors the same way you link to pages of content, resources, external URLs or email addresses. Highlight the text or image that you'd like the link to be attached to, and click the chain-link icon. If you are linking to an anchor within the same page, the link is #linkname (for example, #contact if the anchor you created earlier is named contact). If the link is to an anchor in another page, select that page from the target list and you'll notice the URL populates automatically. It will look something like /pages/my-page. Append the #linkname to the end of this URL, creating something like /pages/my-page#contact. Save or update the page.
