In this example, we will create a jump link to a specific subheading within a page but it's located in another handbook. Please note that if you want to simply link to another handbook or an entire page, this can easily be done through our linking window.
Part One: Creating the Anchor in the Separate Handbook
1. First open up the handbook that has the text you wish you jump to. Within the editor, navigate to the desired page and highlight the text it should link to.
In this example, we want to specifically link to a "Company Values" paragraph that's located within our separate policy book. The subheading for this paragraph has been highlighted.
2. In the pop-up toolbar, click on the "Anchor" ribbon icon to insert the anchor.
3. The anchor pop-up window will appear for you to type a unique/memorable ID tag for this specific anchor. (This is case-sensitive and no spaces are allowed.) Please make a note of this ID as it'll be needed later.
In this example, we will be creating an anchor called "company_values" to match the subheading we wanted to link to.
4. Click "OK" and voila! You will notice a little anchor icon has appeared beside the text. Your anchor is now ready to be linked to.
5. Ensure this handbook is published in order for the unique URL to be created and for the jump link to correctly work.
Part Two: Finding the Unique Handbook URL
1. Since this handbook has been published, you'll need its URL to insert. Go back to the admin dashboard and go to the handbook's settings.
You can do this by hovering over the tile's three dots and clicking "Settings".
2. Under the "Handbook settings" tab view, locate the "Handbook URL" and click the option to copy.
Part Three: Linking to the Anchor from the Other Handbook
1. Now that the URL is copied, you can locate the other handbook. Locate and highlight the text you want to link out.
In this example, we will be linking out the text that says, "Click here to view our 'Company Values'" so that it correctly jumps to the intended "Company Values" paragraph in the separate handbook.
2. In the pop-up toolbar, click on the "Insert/Edit anchor link" globe icon to insert the anchor link.
3. The anchor linking pop-up will appear displaying a field box to insert a URL. Paste the handbook URL you just copied in here. The next step is important.
4. At the end of this URL, add a hashtag # followed by the exact anchor ID tag you just created.
In this example, the full URL would be "https://books.airmason.com/name/policybook/#company-values".
5. Next, you can edit the target window option before clicking "OK" to complete the linking.
We strongly recommend leaving this to "New Window" to ensure viewers don't lose their current location.
6. Voila! You have now inserted a jump link that's located in another handbook. Feel free to preview your handbook and test out the jump link.
