How to link to content within the same page (in-page links)

anchor links

Organizing content on a page can be hard for longer pages of content. You may be worried about the length of the information on you page, especially since top-loading your most important information is a good practice. A way to help your website’s visitors more easily find the information on a long page is to create links within a page (AKA in-page links). Creating in-page links is a two step process.

Step 1: mark a spot on the page that you want to link to

The first step is to tag or mark a spot on the page with an HTML tag. Insert a “Heading block” then scroll down to the “Advanced” options on the right side of the editor. In the “HTML Anchor” field, type in a simple name for the tag. Save your change

Step 2: link to the spot you marked on the page

At the top of the page, type out you text for each link you want to create. Select the text and click the chainlink icon. Then type in a “#” followed by the name of the HTML Anchor tag you want to link to. For example, if the HTML Anchor tag is named “faculty”, the link would be “#faculty”. This tells the browser that you are linking to a spot on the page labelled “faculty” and not another webpage.

You can use this method to link blocks at the top of your page, to content further down and help your site visitors quickly and efficiently get to the information most important to them.
