Anchoring

The Anchor macro allows to link to specific parts of a page. Anchor links can be especially useful when navigating between sections of a long document or to link to a segment of a page and not to the page as a whole.

Anchors are invisible to the reader when the page is rendered.

There are two steps to using an anchor:

  1. Create the anchor for the content.
  2. Create the link to the anchor.

To add the Anchor macro to a page:

  1. In the Confluence editor, choose Insert the Other Macros.
  2. Click on Anchor
