Anchor links in News page

Hi!   I have written quite a long News page in a Communication site. Is it possible to have anchor links to headlines or sections of that article?
sharepoint

hello Alpine_Miller 

I saw many people saying about this resource, but I cannot use this feature because a url (#) is not created from a Header.

 

My question is:

Is it necessary to enable the feature in any sharepoint settings?

EmersonOliveiraI didn't have to turn on any settings. In my experience, any time you use the text style "Header 1" or "Header 2", it creates an anchor point. You have to publish the page live, then when you mouse over the Header 1/2 text a little anchor link appears to the right of the text. Right click on that and copy the link and you can use that for the URL.

    hello Alpine_Miller 

    Tks for your answer.

     

    I did exactly what you reported.

     

    In my organization we use sharepoint online and possibly there was some configuration that is not generating link from header.
    Because we use the private feature so much that some areas don't access some sensitive data, it may have something that doesn't allow us to generate the anchors.

    Thanks for your quick reply.
