Anchor Component

Anchors can be used to enable quick jumps to specific points of an article.  An example of anchor usage would be a 'back to top' anchor placed at the bottom of a page to prevent users having to manually scroll back through large amounts of previously viewed content.

To create an anchor linking to content on the same page:

  1. From the 'Media' list, drag an 'Anchor Component' to the point in the content readers will be jumping to.
  2. Select the 'Anchor Component' and create a unique ID.

Notes

  1. ID's must begin with a character (A-Z), such as '#MyAnchor'

  1. To create the link that readers will select to jump to the anchor, highlight a portion of text to expose the text formatting toolbar
  2. Add a hyperlink using the 'Hyperlink' icon, and enter your anchor ID: #MyAnchor


To link to an Anchor located in a different article:

  1. Add a hyperlink to the text you want users to jump from.
  2. Instead of entering the anchor ID, enter the URL of the article readers will be jumping to, followed by the anchor ID. For example, "https://DomainURL/13754/article.html#MyAnchor"

Notes

  1. If using multiple anchors on the same page, they must have unique ID's.
