How can I create URL accessible to a specific heading?

sophie January 26, 2018

On facebook, we can generate link to direct post by long clicking the timestamp of the post.

Likewise, I remember in the old version of atlassian wiki, i generated link from the heading. 

But now I can't generate nor

1) external link from heading

2) or just link from heading inside attlasian page.

I tried https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Confluence-questions/How-best-to-link-to-headings/qaq-p/237427

and 

https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/links-776656293.html#LinkingtoPages-LinkingtoanAnchororHeading

and

https://confluence.atlassian.com/confcloud/insert-links-and-anchors-724764900.html

but I could achieve what i tried.

How can i do it? Thanks.

Hi Woojung,

Easy Way: Insert a Table of Contents macro in edit mode, click on the macro, click Edit, and then you should have a list of links to all the headings that you can copy/paste.

Advanced Way: In your browser, you can right click on the header you want to link to and choose "Inspect Element" (요소 검사). Then in the console you will see something like id="pagename-headername". Double click on the text pagename-headername and then you should be able to copy it. Then in the URL bar you can type a # and paste the id text and if you press enter it will link you to the heading.

Note: When inserting in Confluence as an advanced link, you may have to remove the "pagename" part of "pagename-headername" in order to get the link to work, because Confluence adds the pagename part automatically.
