Shared link not working with Anchors

Question

Hi all -

I'm hoping that some one may have an answer for this.  I'm able to get the URL to work and go to the anchor if I use the page name.  However,  if the page was to be moved/renamed this will break.

Is there anyway to use the permanant shared link?  I've tried all different ways, and nothing seems to work.   I basically have a very long wiki page with anchors, and I want to link from a document outside of confluence to a specific area on my wiki page.

I'm using a Horizon's platform Atlassian Confluence 6.13.4

Example that works using the Page url:

https://horizon.mycompany.com/docs/display/spacekey/page+title#pagetitle-anchor

Example that I'd think WOULD work using the permanent but does not:

https://horizon.mycompany.com/docs/x/Dsv988#Dsv988-anchor

note: /x/Dsv988 is what I'd get for the shared url as the page name.

Does that make sense?

Also - links are for just an example, so not a real page obviously :)

The only thing I've found to come close to working is if I do this:

https://horizon.mycompany.com/docs/x/Dsv988#pagetitle-anchor

Which if the page would be renamed/moved it would get me to the top of the page, but not to the area I anchored.

I did. the anchor macro is on the page, and linked.  The issue is getting the URL to work using the 'shared" shortened vs the browser w/the page name.  If the page name would be changed, or moved than the anchor links would break right?

Hi Kelly,

Try using the Anchor macro. Cheers!
