Adding anchor links to version 7.0 Index pages is straightforward and helps visitors navigate directly to specific sections. Here's how to do it:

Basic Steps:

  1. Get the section slug:
  • Open Page Settings for the target Index section
  • Copy the URL slug
  1. Create the anchor link:
  • Add the link where needed (text, button, or image)
  • Paste the copied slug
  • Add # before the slug (example: #hours-and-location)
  • Uncheck "Open in new tab"
  1. For external page links:
  • Add Index page slug between forward slashes
  • Format: /index-page-slug/#section-slug/

Special Template Requirements:

Pacific, Charlotte, Horizon, and Naomi:

  • Add -section to end of anchor link
  • Example: #hours-and-location-section

Grid Index Templates (Avenue, Flatiron, Montauk):

  • Use standard anchor link format
  • Works best for navigation and cross-page linking
