Anchor links take visitors directly to a specific section of a page instead of sending them to the top. They’re especially useful for long pages or when you want to point someone to a particular section of your site.
In this article, you’ll learn how to copy a link to any section of your site.
Copying a section link
Here’s how to copy a link to a section:
From your home feed, click on your site name and select Admin from the dropdown menu.
From the Admin dashboard, click Website in the sidebar menu.
Click on the name of the page you'd like to access.
In the site editor, hover over the section you want to copy a link to. A toolbar will appear in the top-right corner of the section.
Click the link icon to copy the section link. You’ll see a Link copied message at the bottom of the screen.
Copied links include a
#h_followed by an identifier that shows which section the link points to.
Share the section link with your site visitors wherever you want to direct them to that section. You can share it with others or add it to a button on your site.
