How to create anchor at the same page?

How to create an anchor to quickly navigate from point A to point B on the same page, similar to a table of contents, without refreshing the page (because refreshing the page is really slow).

Hi @罗潇艳

the guide to create anchors for items on the same page can be found here: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/

But unfortunately, In this case I don't think its possible to avoid reloading the page. If anchors are used, the page is also reloaded and then navigates to the destination, when hitting the anchor link.

Thank you Lucas! I solved it after trying several times. I followed the link format used in the Wiki's table of contents and changed the content after the "#" to the anchor name for custom page navigation. 😊

Thank you for taking the time to answer to your own question!
I was trying to do the same thing and indeed that worked well:

• Create the custom anchor with /anchor
• Link to it from anywhere in your page using  https://<page link>#<custom anchor name>
• When clicking on corresponding link it goes to the anchor without reloading the full page

Hello, you could try using Heading links 

• Hover over the heading. A link icon (🔗) will appear.
• Right-click the link icon and choose "Copy Link."
• Paste this link
• while still in edit page mode, click the link and select "edit link", you can then adjust the text that appears.

Once published this will navigate to linked areas without a page refresh, and you can add as many as these as you need.
