Creating and sharing anchor URLs

I would like generate a unique anchor URL to share across platforms, so when visitors click the link, they’re brought directly to the anchor on the web page, so they don’t need to scroll to find information especially since I am going to use that for the documentation webpage

I found the below article explaining how to do that in Wix Editor

https://support.wix.com/en/article/wix-editor-linking-to-anchors-on-your-site

How can I do the same thing in Editor X with or without code

Here is the support article about anchors on EditorX https://support.wix.com/en/article/editor-x-adding-and-using-anchors#linking-to-an-anchor

Hello @info59347 ,

If you mean sharing an external link, you can always create an Anchor and place it on the place you want to link on your page and make sure to give it a unique and memorable ID. Once you do that, you can add a hash sign (#) at the end of your page URL, followed by the ID of the anchor, for example:

You have a hero section somewhere on a product page, add an Anchor element and place it right above the hero section, give it an ID of “heroSection”. Then add the ID as follows:

https:///#

The link URL will look something like this:
Fastest Web Hosting Services | Buy High Quality Hosting.

To internally link to any section, use the link given by @amandam in her comment.

Hope this helps~!

That is not what I am looking for, as I mentioned I want to create and share anchor URLs

also, how can I make add a navigation menu to the anchors the same as the one Wix uses on their documentation page since the available menus in editor X such as the vertical menu or anchor menu are very poor, The vertical menu doesn’t have hover! or even show in selected status when scrolling the anchors (Sections with anchors) and the anchor menu has no options even to adjust the spacing of the items or background colors

Finally, I want to have the results same as the below page

Hi Ahmed

thanks for your reply, I already did same as what you mentioned exactly but the url doesn’t go to the anchor element,

the only working way is I inspect the section through the browser develop tools to get the section ID <div Id: ”letters and numbers”, then add this ID to the domain URL

Hi Amanda,

I saw this article, it doesn’t answer my question, Editor X doesn’t have same options as Wix, it’s still limited

If you can share something to allow me to make documentation webpage like below page, it will be great

I apologize, you should use the hash field in the anchor settings, not thr anchor ID.

Where to find the anchor settings in Editor X, I think that’s only available in Wix Editor
