In Microsoft SharePoint Online, anchor links are automatically added to H1, H2, and H3 level headings. Once you’ve added your heading, hover over it and you’ll see a link symbol. Clicking it will give you the full URL, including the anchor. If you click this symbol, the heading will be added to the URL bar.
How to Get Started Using the Anchor Tag
- Open your text editor and figure out where you want to insert the name anchor tag. You can do this anywhere—a heading (most common), a word, a phrase, etc.
- Insert the anchor tag around the text you’re going to link (the same way you would any type of link).
Where do I find the anchor tag in SharePoint?
Anchor tags are available when you use the Heading 1 on the Text web part. Go ahead and add the text web part on any modern page, then select the Heading 1 from the first dropdown. You can add a few of them and some normal text in between so that you can see the anchor in action. You should end up with something along those lines.
How to anchor a link in modern SharePoint?
Copy the Hyperlinks generated from the H1/H3 font based Headings on your Text Modern Web Parts. Similarly, do it for another link and also add it in the Bottom section as shown below: Finally, we have achieved Quick Anchor Tagged Navigations links to move to your favorite Text sections on the same Modern Site Page.
Anchors got added to headings (i.e. ids got assigned) on a page-scope level. For example, let’s assume that you’ve got two Text web parts on a page, each having an Overivew heading. In this case, these two headings will get overview and overview-2 headings. That means that SharePoint cannot assign headings ids during a web part rendering.
You can create H1-H3 headings in Text web parts. When a page is displayed, anchors got automatically generated for these headings. This is done by assigning a unique id for each heading. You can get an Url that reference a heading by applying #heading-unique-id at the end of the page Url.
