How To Link To A Section In The Same Page

Quick summary

Linking to a section within the same page in Confluence requires inserting an anchor link and referencing it with a #hashtag URL. This technique lets readers jump directly to specific content without leaving the page.

Steps

1. Type /anchor in the editor and choose "Anchor link" to insert an anchor at your target section.
2. Enter a unique anchor name (avoid using spaces) in the anchor name field.
3. Confirm that the anchor is placed discreetly — it will not appear on the published page.
4. Select the text you want to turn into a link, then press Ctrl + K (or Cmd + K on Mac) to open the link dialog.
5. In the link field, type #youranchorname using the exact anchor name with a # in front, then click Insert.
6. Click Publish to apply your changes to the page.
7. Test the link to confirm it jumps directly to the anchored section.
