Anchor links send visitors to specific sections on a webpage, making navigation easier and improving user experience. Here's how to create and use them effectively.

Creating Anchor Links

An anchor link (or "page diversion") uses a special URL to direct users to a specific location on a page. Common uses include table of contents entries and "back to top" buttons.

Compatible Sections:

• Block sections
• Automatic layouts
• Course sections
• Gallery sections
• Video sections

Setup Process

1. Create the Anchor Link Slug:

• Navigate to Edit > Section > Edit Section
• Add your slug in the Anchor Link field (includes automatic hashtag)
• Copy the generated URL using the Copy Link icon

2. Create the Link:

• Add a text block where you want the link
• Highlight desired text
• Click the link icon
• Paste the copied URL
• Optionally enable "Open link in new tab"
• Press Enter to confirm

3. Save and publish your changes

Special Link Types

Top of Page Link:

• Add anchor slug to first section (suggested: "top")
• Create "Back to top" link in footer
• Disable "Open in new tab"

Bottom of Page Link:

• Add anchor slug to last section (suggested: "bottom")
• Create link anywhere with descriptive text
• Disable "Open in new tab"

Workaround for Incompatible Sections:

• Add empty section above target
• Create anchor link to empty section
• Disable "Fill screen" option
• Save changes

Best Practices and Limitations

• Use unique slugs per page
• Spaces automatically convert to hyphens
• Slugs appear in URL bar
• Update links when changing domains
• Keep slugs professional and meaningful
• Ensure all links remain current

Version 7.0 Alternatives:

• Use code blocks for manual anchor links
• Utilize template-provided index page anchors

Remember to maintain all anchor links when updating your site structure or domain name to ensure continued functionality.
