Anchors are made up of two parts:
In Confluence, you can place an anchor in a page using the anchor macro. This creates an anchor called "here", but you can substitute this with whatever name you like. Anchor Macro
{anchor:here}
Once an anchor is in the page, you can link to it by putting #here (or whatever anchor name you choose) at the end of a link pointing to that page. For example, there are two anchors in this page called "top" and "bottom", which you can link to like so: [#top] [#bottom] These links come out like this: top bottom. Linking to an anchor in the same page [#anchorname] Linking to an anchor in another page [nameofpage#anchorname] Linking to an anchor in a page in another space [spacekey:nameofpage#anchorname] Linking to headings Confluence treats all headings as anchors. So you don't have to place an anchor but simply link to it like this: [#textofheading]
Note that if you are adding an anchor to the site welcome message, it must be to another page. Internal-only links such as {anchor:bottom} will not render. RELATED TOPICSTake me back to Confluence User Guide |
You need to edit in 'Wiki Markup' mode to create anchor links.

I presume you want to link an anchor in the page outside from Confluence. If this is the case, you may want to use the page URL address instead of using the page name. An example would be:

In the opposite direction to the post above, was wondering what the syntax might be to address an anchor (inside a confluence space/page) via a link (email etc.) from the outside.
I have made a (failed) attempt by appending #table_anchor to the 'tiny' link from the page's info tab. It looks something like tiny_link#table_anchor.
When clicking on the link from an email message, the page opens but does not advance to the anchor.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
Derek B.

My concern is that any link that is dependent on the name value used in the left-hand button/tab navigation will not be as stable long-term to link to as a url based upon a key or unique ID value.. but I have been unable to locate more than the "tiny link" value in the info or edit of a page. It seems like there must be a key value assigned, because some pages display a numeric identifier at the end of the url, but I'm not sure what the logic is whereby this gets used in the url - I can't figure out how to get it for some of the sub-pages.
If anyone has any insights for locating this +/or samples for how to form this successfully using something more able to weather change than the name value, I'd much appreciate your insights!

On the first one, the link was on the top of the page, and it worked beautifully leading me to the bottom of the page where the anchor was.
Then I tried doing the opposite: placing an anchor on the top of the page, and the link at the bottom. I cannot get this to work, even though the syntax is correct. Actually, on the top I have "Upload .", but when I save and view all that shows up is "Upload ."
Any idea what is going on here?
Thank you!

The link is from outside of the table, and the anchor itself is within the table. When I click on the link to jump to the anchor, nothing happens. Is there any way around this?

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce the problem on my local instance. The anchor seems to work fine when included within a table. Please try the following wiki markup:
Link to content within [#table] ||heading 1||heading 2||heading 3|| |cell A1|cell A2|cell A3| |cell B1|cell B2 \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ {anchor:table}Your content|cell B3|Please note that in the above example, I have to make sure that the page is scrollable, so that I could see the effect of the anchor link.
However, if the problem still persists, please raise a support request at http://support.atlassian.com
Cheers,

Using the wiki code straight away solves the problem. A simple solution that I did not see staring me in the face earlier. Your help is much appreciated!
