Insert an Anchor to Jump to a Section of a Page

An anchor is a tagged location on a web page to mark a section of the page. When a URL is appended with an anchor, the web page opens with the anchored section at the top.

Note: Linking to anchors is different depending on whether the link is from the same web page or a different page. See instructions below.

Create an anchor on a page:

  1. In the page you are editing, place the cursor where you want to insert the anchor.

  2. Click the Insert/edit anchor icon .

  3. Type an anchor name in the pop-up box.

  4. Click Insert or Update to return to the WYSIWYG content editor window.

  5. Click Save.

  1. Type text for the link, such as, “Back to top”.

  2. Highlight the text.

  3. Click the Insert/edit URL or link icon .

  4. In the Insert Link window, select an anchor from the Anchors options.

    Note: When creating a link to an internal anchor, you do not need to supply a URL except in email. When in the email WYSIWYG content editor, include the URL appended with the anchor tag.

  5. Type a Title to display when a mouse hovers over the link. This is required for accessibility compliance.

  6. Click Insert. You will return to the WYSIWYG content editor, where the selected text indicates an active link.

  1. Type text for the link, such as, “Back to top”.
