Quick summary
Linking to a specific section in Confluence requires inserting an anchor link using the /anchor slash command and then referencing it with a #anchorname in the link field. This technique enables readers to navigate directly to any part of a long Confluence page without scrolling.
Steps
- Type /anchor in the Confluence editor and select "Anchor link" from the slash-command menu.
- Give your anchor a unique name with no spaces.
- Note that the anchor will not be visible on the page once it is published.
- Highlight the text you want to make clickable, then press Ctrl + K (or Cmd + K on Mac) to open the link dialog.
- In the link field, type #youranchorname, ensuring it exactly matches the anchor name including the # symbol.
- Click Insert, then Publish the page to save your changes.
- Test the link to confirm it scrolls directly to your anchor point.
