Bookmarking in sharepoint

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I'm new to SharePoint and hopefully someone has figured out a good work around to my problem; Is there a way to bookmark a separate SharePoint document into another? For reference, I can add a link to another document but when trying to add a bookmark to another document (like page 2 of document B) it doesn't work. The only bookmarks I can make is within the same document.

 

Thanks for any advice

Hey @ThomasA54 

 

look at this article in the capture "Create a hyperlink to a location in the current document or another document"

Hello,

Thank you for reaching out! While SharePoint does allow linking to other documents, the ability to directly bookmark specific sections, such as a particular page in another document, is somewhat limited. Unfortunately, SharePoint’s document linking functionality is designed primarily for general document-level links rather than internal bookmarks across different documents.

 

That said, there are a couple of potential workarounds you can consider:

 

PDF Files: If Document B is a PDF, you can create a direct link to a specific page within the PDF by appending #page=[page number] to the file URL.


Anchors in Web Pages: If you're dealing with SharePoint pages or web-based documents, you could use HTML anchor tags to link to specific sections of the content.


Versioning/Comments: Alternatively, you can consider adding comments or highlights to specific sections within Document B for easier navigation when the user opens it.


I hope this helps! Please feel free to reach out if you need further clarification or assistance.
