How to create jump links to text within the same handbook

Anchor links can be useful for linking to specific text within a paragraph.

In this example, we will create a jump link to a specific subheading within a page located in the same handbook. Please note that if you want to simply link to an entire handbook or just a whole page, this can easily be done through our linking window already.

If you need to link to text in a separate handbook, please see the below article instead:



Part One: Creating the Anchor

Step 1: Within the editor, navigate to the desired page and locate the text you wish you jump to. This text will become the anchor.

In this example, we want to specifically link to the "Policy Statement" page.

Step 2: In the pop-up toolbar, click on the "Anchor" ribbon icon to insert the anchor.

Step 3: The anchor pop-up window will appear for you to type a unique/memorable ID tag for this specific anchor. Please note this is case sensitive and no spaces are allowed.

In this example, we will be creating an anchor called "policy_statement" to match the subheading we wanted to link to.

Step 4: Click "OK" to save changes. You will now notice a little anchor icon has appeared beside the text. Your anchor is ready to be linked to.


Part Two: Linking to the Anchor

Step 1: Now you can locate the text you want to link out and highlight it.

In this example, we will be linking out the text that says, "Learn more here".

Step 2: In the pop-up toolbar, click on the "Insert/Edit anchor link" globe icon to insert the anchor link.

Step 3: The anchor linking pop-up will appear displaying a dropdown list of global anchors existing within the handbook.

Step 4: In the "Global Anchors" dropdown list, locate and select the anchor you just created.

Step 5: Next, you can choose 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.

Step 6: Click "OK" to save changes.

Step 7: Voila! You have now inserted a jump link within the same handbook. Feel free to preview your handbook and test out the jump link. Upon clicking, it should automatically scroll to the position of the anchor.
