Beta Unlocked: Share Link to Section/Anchor

Announcements

We are excited to announce we are unlocking a highly requested feature in Wix - sharing a link to a specific section/anchor on a website page. This means that you will be able to create a link to a specific part of a webpage and share that link with others. When someone clicks on the link, they will be taken directly to the specific section/anchor of the webpage that the link refers to.

This can be useful for a variety of purposes, such as sharing a specific section of a page with someone who may not want to read the entire page, or for directing someone to a specific part of a page that is relevant to a particular topic.

How to use it?

Any idea when this feature will be added to Wix Studio? I absolutely love it and can’t imagine working with out it anymore. Was super bummed when I opened Wix Studio and discovered this capability wasn’t present there…
