New editor linking to Anchor

[Steve Hermes]

Still no anchor macro ---- what is going on ?

Cripes — this answers my recently-posted question.

Not the answer I was hoping for, of course. :/

Not an answer, just another compaint. I've updated a page to the new editor (hate it, btw - whomever's idea it was to reduce functionallty needs to take a long hard look in the mirror). The page has anchors, some of which are working and can be linked to. I am now unable to search for the anchor, and when entering the below combinations, confluence is unable to find the anchor.

#anchorname

Page Name#anchorname

#Page Name#anchorname

Page Name##anchorname

Is there anything else I can try? I'd log it as a bug but that will probably not get resolved for months.

@David Bradley, I guess you know that you can hover over a heading and at the right hand side a link to copy will appear. This is in the form of https://some.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/TES/pages/2064056335/Page+Title#The-heading

So as long as you use headings, you should be able to link to them.

Looking for Atlassian to give us the option of which editor we use as a "default". Please help by voting for this issue.

https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFCLOUD-71078 

As admins, we should be able to set the default editor used by the instance for all pages/blogs being created.

As a  user, I should have the option of setting my personal default within my profile.

Thank you

Those looking for alternatives might find this Google Chrome feature of use:
Scroll to Text Fragment DOM 

This feature allows a user or author to link to a specific portion of a page, using a text snippet provided in the URL. When the page is loaded, the browser highlights the text and scrolls it into view.

Obviously wont suit everyone, but it's a similar-ish function.

I just spent 10 Minutes in finding out that this is somehow no longer available. The documentation of confluence is ... well found your own word for this. Frustrating.
Have a look for yourself. I am using the new editor.

For the moment I was really surprised and happy reading your message- Anchors are back in the new editor - but obviously only when you use  a page or page template which was set up with the old editor.

In the new editor there is no Anchor Macro available - at least not in the German Version.

So the new editor ist still more frustrating than the old one ..............

But hope dies last

For what reason there is no anchors on the new editor? Is there a logical reason to that or did they just haven’t released it yet?
