How to use anchor links in landing pages and websites

An anchor link is a link that redirects the visitor of your landing page or website to another section of the same web page.

Anchor links come in handy if you have lots of content on your page and want to provide visitors with an easy way to navigate to certain parts of the page without having to scroll up and down looking for it.

1. Navigate to Sites.

2. Locate your landing page and click Edit to open the Drag & drop editor.

3. Then, locate the block that you wish to create an anchor link for. Each section will have a name that can be seen in the bottom right corner when you hover over it.

4. Scroll to the top of your landing page and add a Menu element to the page, or a Section that includes a Menu. Hover over it and click the Settings icon.

5. Choose the Menu item that you would like to link your anchor block to, and click the Edit pencil icon. 

6. In the dropdown menu, choose Anchor block.

7. Choose the block that you would like to link to, by selecting the block name.

8. Click Add to create the anchor link. Now when that menu item is clicked, it will automatically direct the reader to that specific block in the landing page

1. Open your site in the editor.

2. Drag the Anchor block from the sidebar and drop it onto your page. The Anchor block won’t be visible on your published site. It simply provides an (invisible) anchor to link to, so where you place your Anchor block will be the endpoint of your anchor link.

3. Click the Anchor block to select it and give it a name in the sidebar.

Now it’s time to provide a link to your anchor! You can use your header navigation, button blocks, and even image blocks as a link to your Anchor block.

We recommend using your header navigation. Keep in mind, this option is only available for Landing pages.
