Linking to a heading
You can directly link to a heading in Confluence without the need of an anchor.
However, if somebody changes the heading, the link will be broken. Using an
anchor will prevent this.
To link to a heading, perform the following steps:
1.
Open a page in Edit mode and place your cursor at the location where you
want to add the link.
2.
Choose
Link
in the editor toolbar, or press
Ctrl
+
K
.
3.
Choose
Advanced
and enter the heading into the
Link
textbox. The heading
is case-sensitive and must be entered without spaces.
4.
Enter the link text that will be displayed on the page.
5.
Click on
Insert
.
Linking to an undefined page
In some case you want to insert a link pointing to a Confluence page that does
not exist yet, but which you intend to create later. We call this type of link
an
undefined link
.
To add an undefined link, perform the following steps:
1.
Open a page in Edit mode and place your cursor at the location where you
want to add the link.
2.
Type
[
to trigger the autocomplete function, and type the name of the
undefined page.
3.
From the suggestion list, choose
Insert Link
to create a page.
Drafts
While you are working on your page, Confluence makes sure your work is saved.
At regular intervals a draft is saved so that, in case of a network or server error, you
can retrieve the last-saved draft and continue your work.
Drafts are created when you are adding or editing a page. By default, Confluence
saves a draft every 30 seconds. A Confluence administrator can change this interval
in the
General Configuration
setting. A draft is also created if you move to another
site or page while editing a page.
