Linking Text within a page, so it can be used in several places throughout the document.

Question

Hello

What i need is at the top of the page a list of version numbers for different modules , i then want to be able to get those versions numbers at any point throughout the document without the need to scroll up/down through the page.

These version numbers should be editable for when they change, and if changed, automatically updated when referenced throughout the document.

I have seen the 'anchor' link but this is not what i need unless i am implementing incorrectly, i need to see the actual version number not a 'link name'.

Example below

Heading

Module1 = 5.342.6.7

Module2 = 8.3882.6.7.9

Module3 = 1.00.2.1

Deploy Instructions

1) Deploy module 1 version "Link to 5.342.6.7"

2) Deploy module 2 version "Link to 8.3882.6.7.9"

3) Deploy module 1 version "Link to 1.00.2.1"

Hello @Tarun Sapra

Thanks for your suggestions, i have read up and tried, but unfortunately you can only use one Excerpt per page,  and i need many more than that.

I really just need a 'hyperlink' or 'tag' like functionality.

Thanks for your suggestion..

Hello @Stuart Galton

Since you have already tried the anchor tag approach and it's not working for your use-case then I suggest you to look at the "Excerpt" macro in confluence. Using this macro if you update the version number on the original position then it will be updated on all other locations.
