Anchor Macro
Add the Anchor macro to a page to link to a specific part of a page.
This is useful on long pages, where you want to link to specific parts of the page.
Don't see the Anchor macro? This macro isn't available in the new Confluence Cloud editor. See We're cleaning up our macros for alternative ways to link.
The example below shows an example of an Anchor macro as it appears in the editor, and as it would appear to someone viewing the page.
