Last Published: March 26, 2026

Summary

This article describes the workflow to add anchor links to ArcGIS Hub so users can quickly navigate to sections within a page.

Procedure

  1. In ArcGIS Hub, open the page in edit mode.
  2. Add a Text card and add text. In this example, the text isĀ Geographic Information Systems.
  3. Highlight your text and, using the formatting toolbar, select a header size.
  4. Click the </> Edit in HTML option.
  5. Add an anchor ID to the HTML using the following format. In this example, the ID is geographic-information-systems.
<a id="geographic-information-systems"></a> 
Note:
Only use lower case in anchor IDs. Replace spaces with hyphens.
  1. Click Apply to close the HTML editor.
  2. Add a link on the same page which leads to the anchor.
    1. Scroll to the link text.
    2. Click the </> Edit in HTML option.
    3. Add the following HTML, replacing the example text (geographic-information-systems) with the anchor ID created in step 5.
<a href="#geographic-information-systems">Link text</a>
    1. Click Apply to close the HTML editor.
Note:
To link to the anchor from outside of the page it appears on, append # and the anchor ID to the end of the page link. For example: https://yoursite.hub.arcgis.com/pages/page-slug#geographic-information-systems.
  1. Click Save layout to save changes to the page.
  2. Click Publish layout to publish the page.
  3. Click on the link text to redirect to the header with the anchor ID attached.
