New Confluence: anchors inside the page redraw the page

[Bruno Miretti]

Hi,

I noticed adding an anchor macro in a page will rebuild/refresh the whole page if you create a link to this anchor in this page, which is very slow. Using the good old UI, the page did just scroll.

Any way to avoid this and navigate faster ?

Had the same problem. Seems that just using hash + anchorname (i.e. #anchorname) within the link works.

Thanks, worked for me.
Just to make it 100% clear, this is the fix:

Link before:
https://{tenent}.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/{space}/pages/{page_id}#560b0263-b7cd-4a1a-b764-c768cbfad66d

Link After:
Replace https://{tenent}.atlassian.net/wiki/.... link with # followed by anchorname (i.e. #anchorname)
#560b0263-b7cd-4a1a-b764-c768cbfad66d

I am also interested to know how to use anchors without the whole page refreshing.
