Applying an anchor text in a page

An anchor text is the clickable text in a hyperlink to direct users to a certain location on your web page. It’s useful for pages with long content or if you want users to quickly go to a specific area of your page.

You can add a table of contents or sitemap within that page, so that users can jump to a selected section when they click the anchor text on the sitemap.

1. Open Add/Edit Pages

Click the Add / Edit Pages option to access the page management interface.
