Newsletter Anchors

Please Note: The Anchor Feature is currently only available within our older version of the newsletter editor (those created before 7/1/2020). For our New Newsletter Editor, it is on the list of features to add in a future upgrade.

1. Anchors are generally used when you create pages with large amounts of text. You will make an index at the top of the page that links to the anchors in the text below.
   
2. Linking to anchors is very similar to normal links., but normal links always point to the top of a new page whereas anchors point to a place within the current page. 

Many email clients do not support anchors in email or newsletters, and in general, anchor links to not work in mobile email clients. The email client removes the links so they do not work. Instead of using anchor links, consider:

1. linking to your website for people to read more
   
2. linking to PDF files or Word Documents that contain more information about your topic

1. Create the anchor itself.
   
2. Create a link pointing to the anchor.
   

1. Choose the location where you want to drop an anchor. This will be where the link is going to take the reader.
   
2. At that location, drop an anchor. This is the button in the newsletter editor next to the link button.
   
3. Name the anchor. You cannot include any spaces in the name. Be sure to remember the name that you have chosen. For example:  Anchor_1
   

1. Choose the location where you want to include the link to the anchor. This is usually near the top of your page.
   
2. Type in the text that will serve as the link to your anchor.
   
3. Highlight the text and choose the "link" button.
   
4. In the URL for the link you will choose from the drop down list of Anchors or type #Anchor_1 if the drop down list does not appear.
   
5. Don't forget to add the # sign before you type in the name.
   

Using Grammarly with Newsletters

We recommend that you do NOT use this plugin for your browser with newsletters. It adds code to the background of your newsletter and that code is NOT compatible with email clients.
