How to use Anchor links
Anchor links are handy to help users navigate through a page by using a link to take them to a specific part on the page. Anchor links are automatically added to headings.
1. On a saved draft or published page go to the heading that you wish to link to and hover over it - you will see a link icon appear - click on this.
2. In the URL bar you will see the new anchor link that you can copy and paste into where you need.
Note: This will be the page URL with #HeadingTitle at the end.
3. You can either add this to an image or add a link to it within a Text box.
4. Open the hyperlink option and paste the link in (we recommend keeping the checkbox unticked so that users stay on the same page)
Note: Make sure to test this link once you have published.
