Anchor links in Confluence
Asked by JoMi:

Good day!

Could you help me please! I wanna make some **anchor links** on my **Confluence** page but couldn't find the way, *how it could be done* :( Anyone knows if it is possible?

Thanks!

*You don't need any macro at all* just **point your mouse to one of your headings (h1-h6) and the widget which copies the link to this heading will appear**!

Please refer to the doc here

<https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-links-and-anchors/>

Here's a gist, let me know if you have any queries

Thanks,

body: Thanks, but *I have already wrote* that this way: **using anchor macro doesn't work any more** ! All 3 links that you provided should be updated because they doesn't contain actual information on the topic. I **found the way an anchor link could be added** and **published the actual method here** : <https://community.atlassian.com/t5/Welcome-Center-questions/Re-Anchor-links-in-Confluence/qaq-p/1927912/comment-id/211#M211>

body: No, it does actually!!

Here's a quick example

This is bottom of the page

![Bottom.png](https://community.atlassian.com/t5/image/serverpage/image-id/180654i100771CE13AD18E6/image-size/large?v=v2&px=999 "Bottom.png")

This is at the top

When you click on the Top link, it will take you to the Anchor place

*Have you seen this screenshot* ? I suppose that you have made your account together with your Confluence page very far ago and due to this fact, it may not be updated to the latest version... (some dependencies, additional pluggins from the Market, etc.) And I use the just installed and clean of any additional apps one. Of course, *I am not sure and it's only my personal opinion* **based on 2 facts**:

1. **I haven't found this macro among macros available to me**!

2. **The official documentation says this macro is not longer available**!

It's Cloud Premium \& a New Site \& a New Page

And here's the doc, I have also attached the screenshot of how anchor link works in the new editor

Welcome to the Atlassian community.

I believe you have already explored the anchor's usage. This helpful Atlassian [insert the anchor macro](https://support.atlassian.com/confluence-cloud/docs/insert-the-anchor-macro/) document and the related sections should guide you.

body: Thanks you so much! I suppose I couldn't find one because of this issue:

Of course ++**I checked the corresponding web-page and was very suprised**++ because:

So I still need your help and wise advice! :)
