Anchors

Anchors (also known as jump marks or bookmarks) allow you to create links that take users directly to a specific section within a page. The resulting URL has the following format: www.example.com/page#anchor-name

  • Creating an anchor – step by step
  • Editing and deleting an anchor
  • Linking to an anchor

Creating an anchor – step by step

  1. Open a content element that contains a Rich Text Editor (RTE).
  2. In the RTE, place the cursor where you want to insert the anchor (e.g. before a heading).
  3. Click the Bookmark icon in the RTE toolbar.
  4. A dialog box opens. Enter a descriptive name for the anchor (e.g. contact).
  5. Click the green checkmark to confirm.
  6. The anchor appears in the editor with the name you entered.

Editing and deleting an anchor

Editing an Anchor:

  1. Click the anchor in the RTE.
  2. Click the Edit icon (pencil).
  3. Change the anchor name and confirm your changes.

Deleting an Anchor:

  1. Click the anchor in the RTE.
  2. Click the Delete icon (trash can).

Linking to an anchor

To create a link to an anchor:

  1. Select the desired link text.
  2. Click the Link icon in the RTE toolbar.
  3. In the Link Browser, locate the “Anchor (ID)” field.
  4. Select the target page.
  5. Enter the anchor name without the # symbol in the “Anchor (ID)” field (e.g. contact).
  6. Confirm your selection.

The resulting URL will look like this: www.example.com/page#contact

Tips for choosing good anchor names

  • Use only lowercase letters and hyphens (no spaces, special characters, or # symbols).
  • Choose descriptive names, such as contact, downloads, or events.
  • Keep names short, clear, and unique within the page.
