Can't test link to anchor within same page when in PREVIEW mode

[Stephen Kairys]

Hi,

If I'm editing a page and need to test a anchor link I've added, I go to PREVIEW mode.

However, while external links seem to work, nothing happens when L click the link to the anchor. And it DOES work if I publish the page.

Here's the link in question., to the anchor "sec-view-code". Is there a workaround here?

Thanks.

Isn't it because the anchor link does not exist, technically speaking, before you publish the page?

External links work as they're independent of Confluence.

Of course, it may have been an oversight during development and if you feel so, you can open a bug with Atlassian Support.
