I. Intro
In a document, you can get a link to any content, including a sentence, paragraph, or block. Users can click the link to jump directly to the location of the content in the document. This type of link is called an anchor link.
II. Steps
Obtain anchor links
You can get the anchor link using the following methods:
Notice: Method 1 and method 2 can be used by anyone. Method 3 can only be used by users with edit permission for the document.
Method 1: For text content, select the text, click the
icon, and click Copy Link.
Method 2: For non-text content such as callouts, images, videos, and boards, hover over the content and click the Copy Link icon.
Note: If the Copy Link icon is not available, it means anchor links are not available for this content in viewing mode. You need to obtain edit permission for the document or switch to editing mode, then copy the link using method 3 below.
