How to use bookmark with anchor to link to specific section of confluence page?

Debbie Buswell

We are interested in using anchors in Confluence with bookmark to link to a specific section of a Confluence page. So far, the syntax of "anchor\bookmark" or "anchor:bookmark" has produced a syntax error?

What is the proper way to set up an anchor with a bookmark?

In the Advanced tab of the "Edit link" dialog use the hashmark and then the name of the section.

Eg. if the section has a heading "Assets" use "#Assets". If you refer to another page, add the page title in front of the hashmark.

For details please refer to https://confluence.atlassian.com/display/CONF57/Working+with+Links, Link to an anchor on a page: spacekey:page name#anchor name

For instance: The key of the space you want to link to is "DOC", the page title is "My Page" and the heading of the section is "Important Information". The link in the advanced tap input field would be:

DOC:My Page#Important Information

Note that you use the heading as is, not the generated ID on the HTML element.

Robert,

Thank you for the assistance. This works at the space level very well.

We are also trying to anchor to a specific page in a space and then to a specific section of that page (with a heading)? Is that possible?

Hierarchy is:

1–Space

2–Page

3–Heading (not at top of page, but within body of page)

I don't know if I understand your question correctly. So I tried to add an example to explain the linking to a section in another space. Hope this helps.

Robert, I now have the link working. Thank you so much for your help. Debbie
