You can easily create "anchor links" in Website Builder by using Element Behaviors.
Pro Tip: It will make it more difficult to keep track of when editing, but if for some reason you are not able to link to an element like the "header 3" and want to just go to a specific spot in the middle of a paragraph, then you can add a text box to the side of the content in the position desired and delete the default content and make the element very small. You can then link to that element. Since the empty text box is essentially invisible on the page, you do need to remember exactly where you placed it, or you could lose track
Special thanks to user Martin (mpalmi27) for finding this ability.
- Click on the element you want to have trigger the anchor link (Button or text, usually). Then click More > Advanced > Settings
-
Click "Add Behavior"
- Click "Scroll To Element"
- Select "Other Element" and click OK
- Scroll down to the element you want to anchor or scroll to and select it (I used a picture of an anchor)
- Set your Speed and Trigger preferences and click OK
**Note: this will only work with elements on the same page.

This reply was created from a merged topic originally titled how to add hyperlinks.
I want to link a button to text so when you click the button it will send you to text on the same page.

Will the feature allow you to click the element and then send you to text on a different page?

No, this will only work on the same page.

That's a pity. I had hoped to have links on the home page that could send the user on to page 1 section 2, or a different topic further down page 1 at section 3.
Am I right in thinking that the only real way to do this would be to create separate pages for each topic?

That would be correct. You can link elements to other pages but cannot specify what section it links to, it would just be the top of the page. If the person is already on a specific page, then you can link to a specific section on that page.

Is there a way to do this in the old SiteBuilder?

Ps. Will the anchor icon be invisible when the page is published?
