Quick summary
The Confluence anchor feature lets you create invisible in-page navigation links that jump readers directly to a specific section. Using the /anchor command and a hashtag URL, teams can build structured, easy-to-navigate Confluence pages without any add-ons.
Steps
- Type /anchor in the Confluence editor and select Anchor from the dropdown menu.
- Give your anchor a unique name — no spaces are allowed in the name.
- Confirm the anchor is placed — it will be invisible on the published page.
- Highlight the text you want to turn into a link, then press Ctrl+K (or Cmd+K on Mac) to open the link dialog.
- Enter #anchorname in the URL field — starting with a hashtag followed by your anchor's exact name — then click Insert.
- Click Publish to save your changes to the page.
- Test the anchor link by clicking it — it will jump directly to the anchored section.
