Introducing Page Sections + Anchor Links

Hi, this is Chris from Knowledge Architecture. I'm going to introduce you to our new Page sections and anchor links features today. I'll start by searching Synthesis on Ideal Window to Wall Ratio Synthesis is searching across all the content on the Internet, including pages, posts, videos and documents to generate a search summary. Using AI, I can see that a 20 to 40% window to wall ratio is suggested to balance daylighting, thermal performance and energy efficiency. If I hover on the citation, I can see that Synthesis is citing the Windows and Doors page as the source for this answer. And if I click on it, you'll see that I'm taken directly to the Windows and Doors page and then scrolled right to the section of the page which contains the recommended window to wall ratio. Let's do another search. This time I'll search on where can I find my W2 synthesis tells me that I can access PassW2's advantage point under the Forms tab and cites the Payroll page as the source of truth. If I click on that citation, I'm navigated to the Payroll page and the appropriate collapsible section is automatically opened up. Nice. Let's do one more. I'll start searching on Owner Architect and you can see that the first suggestion is a page section called Owner Architects Agreements I on the Contracts page in the Project Management Guide. If I click on it, I'm navigated right to the Owner Architects Agreement section. And if I hover near the page heading, I can copy a link directly to this page section. This is commonly referred to as an Anchor link. I'll copy the anchor link and now I can share it via email or Teams or Slack or drop it in a synthesis post or comment. Cool. So how do we do this? We broke each of these pages into individual page sections using page headers and blocks, and then use those page sections to help you navigate to intranet content faster, as well as share links to page sections with other employees. Okay, let's look at a few other ways to use Page Sections and Anchor links. You can see that I'm in the Post editor and I have started writing a post on updates we've made to our Revit Standards guide on synthesis. The first improvement is adding a section on Linking and importing to the Revit Container Files page. I'll select the text Linking and Importing, click on the link option, search to the Revit Container Files page, and you'll see a new option to choose which page section you'd like to link to. The default is linked to the top of the page, but for this post, I'd like to link people directly to the new Linking and Importing section. I'll click Apply and now I can test that link and yep, I'm scrolled right to the new Linking and Importing Page section. I can also link directly to Page Sections from the Content Outliner Image Blocks, Navigation Blocks, and Best Bets There were already lots of reasons to structure your pages using headings and block titles, like improving readability, making it easier for people to skim and find what they're looking for. But it's also critical for AI search. The way AI search works is by breaking pages into chunks, and clearly written headings and block titles help the system understand how to chunk and label those sections. That in turn makes your pages more useful and helps generate better AI search summaries. So now with Page sections and anchor links, this practice is even more valuable. Using clear, descriptive headings and block titles makes it possible for users to click directly to sections from AI search results, see those headings and search suggestions, and easily share links to specific sections with their teams. So one of the core best practices in synthesis is to use clear and descriptive headings and block titles. If you're already doing this, you'll see even more benefits with these new features. And if you're not, now is the perfect time to start. So that's it for this introduction into synthesis, page sections and anchor links. Please feel free to send us your comments and questions and happy linking.
