Link to a place within a page

These instructions assume you are in the 'Contents' screen (in 'Safe Edit' mode) of the page where you want to create the link.

To link to a particular spot within a page you first need to create an anchor – this is the point you want to link to. Links to an anchor can be from the page where the anchor exists or from another page.

Some examples where you might want to link to an anchor include:

  • If you reference another section on the same page
  • If you create a 'menu' at the top of the page
  • If you want to link to a particular place on another page

Step 1. Create an anchor
