What happened to anchors and being able to navigate to another place in the same document?

[John Stewart]

The new confluence sucks, putting it midly. So many macros were removed. Now, there is no code snippet macro, no anchor macros, can't image map, and most importantly can't anchor a link to another part of the same document.

I like the new simplified UI, but for heaven's sake, why would you remove features from an already troublesome product.

If it weren't for our corporate buy in, I would never use Confluence by choice.

John,

 You are correct that the new editor no longer has the anchor link.  Even though there has been a lot of users asking for it to come back Atlassian has not done so yet.  The request to have the returned was closed. https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-66773?_ga=2.136396720.1015144324.1595258341-1624429102.1594443344&error=login_required&error_description=Login+required&state=0cd44fa2-5766-499b-ac98-2c0fdfb4aff1 

Atlassian has provided what they call linkable headings which they tell you how to create here: https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/

Yeah, Linkable Headings is the replacement feature, as far as I've heard.
