Add Anchor Links to Squarespace Index Pages in Version 7.0
Starting sections in version 7.0 have a unique URL structure for creating anchor links without custom code. These links allow direct navigation to specific sections on index pages.
For instance, the Hayden template demo site uses this feature to scroll directly to the "Moreau" section when clicking "View our work."
