Going directly from Table of Contents to Editing a chosen location

Marc Miller_mrjq6q

I have a Table of Contents for most of my Confluence pages.

I want to to to the Table of Contents, select a section, go directly to it, and start editing.

However, now when I find that I can view the chosen section of the page using this approach, but if I want to edit I am forced back to the top of the page and have to scroll down.  I have a lot of material on my pages and that results in a lot of scrolling.

Hello @Marc Miller !

As I understand, you need to create a Table of Contents that lead directly to the desired section in edit mode.

I can tell you that this is not available for Confluence Table of Contents macro natively.

I was trying some alternatives and found out that emoticons do have IDs (data-emoji-id).

Having this information at hand, was able to create an anchor that leads directly into that emoticon position.

The problems are:

1. I need to reload the page after clicking the link
2. It only worked in Firefox

 

Here is how I did it

 

1. Created a page
2. Placed an emoticon in it
   
3. Clicked to “Inspect element”
   
   
4. Copied the ID
   
   
5. Added this ID after the edit link with #
   
   
6. Added a Bulleted list
   
   
7. Added the link inside this list
8. Edited the display link of the text
   
   
9. Published the page

 

I understand this is not a user friendly approach, but I was also unable to find a third-party plugin that offered this functionality.

 

Let us hear from you!
