Insert the anchor macro

The Anchor macro allows you to add a target to a specific part of a page so that a link can be added to jump the reader to that section. These can be especially useful for allowing your readers to navigate to specific parts of a long document. Anchors are invisible to the reader when the page is displayed.

To add the Anchor macro to a page using the new editor:

1. In the Confluence editor, select > View more

2. Find and select the Anchor macro

   You can also enter /anchor to find and select the macro

3. Give the anchor a name.  This name will be used when creating the link that leads to the anchor, and the name will be part of the link's URL.
4. Select Insert
