Definitely agree! We have some technical content that requires long cards, so this would help us greatly. 

100% Agree!

What’s frustrating is this request goes back years, and it was even supposedly added a year ago but appears to have vanished!

It would be incredibly useful to link team members to specific sections or to link between sections in the same card for in-depth technical breakdowns.

This is a must have!

(@James Kelly, just noting that the feature you linked to is different from this request—that’s from when the organizational hierarchy included boards and board sections orather than just folders all the way down], so it was referring to linking directly to a board section /which then had multiple cards in it], not to a particular section/subheading within a card. I agree that the feature requested in this thread would be very helpful, but just wanted to help clarify that it has never been implemented before.)

Hi! Adding in on this, we had a discussion with our team this week where we were thinking how great it would be if we could link not just another card but to the specific section of that card so our users don’t have to be scrolling/checking the ToC (we’re using markdowns to create ToCs as Guru’s ToC feature does not quite fit our needs) but rather be redirected straight to where we want to send them.

If there is a way how to do that using markdown and anchoring, please let me know, it would be great help to us.

Just want to take the opportunity to stress this also from our side. We have a lot of cross-team content, additionally to team-specific content. This means that some content (= answer) is stored in a shared collection, while specific questions might only be found in restricted collections. In those cases, we need to link the specific card to the section in the shared card.

We have just fairly recently moved all our content to Guru and are now facing the issue that we have dozens of links that lead to now deleted Confluence pages, and we can’t replace them. So the only way to solve this would be through replicating tons of content, which is an immense manual work.

HUGE agree.

I understand that this feature isn’t going to make news headlines or be the next “AI” type feature but this feature this trivial to fix shouldn’t require a major voting drive to get prioritized.

1. Anchor tags are trivial to add to a website. Guru already adds anchor tags to the current cards (just not always in a usable format).

2. I know the anchor tags are already there but noticed they already half work (work with 1 word headers but not with two word headers or headers with special characters). 

So all we are really voting for is for a Guru developer to 1) generate a different anchor tag than the tags already being generated today, 2) make it so all anchor tags are usable o matter what letters, numbers, and special characters are in the header, 3) somehow let users know what the generated anchor tag is for a header (maybe with a tool tip when you hoover over the header? Or right clicking on a header lets you copy the direct link?).

Fixing this feature shouldn’t be a heavy lift.

This is crucial for our team! We use Guru for our style guide and reference other sections in almost every card. Right now, we have to mention the card and suggest searching for that section, but this isn’t very accessible. Please consider adding this functionality ASAP. It would be a game changer for us

This is a sorely missed feature. It would greatly improve the usability of Guru if we could send people to specific sections of a card instead of having them scroll through long cards to find the info they need.

Breaking a card down into additional cards isn’t the solution, because that only creates more navigational clutter.

Just to clarify my comment above… I’m not asking for a table of contents with anchor links to sections within the same card. My team needs unique URLs to sections within a card. For example, we’d like to click a link icon next to a section headline to copy the unique URL for that section to share with others or use to create links in other cards back to the section.

Imagine a card that contains a glossary of terms. One of the terms might be “Computer.” After the definition we might want to include the link “See also PC” which jumps you directly to the term “PC” (in the same card) when clicked.

Just ran into this limitation today also. The table of contents is nice and all, but we need to be able to generate specific jumplinks to sections so users can click on them and immediate get to that location. 

These jumplinks should work to navigate people between locations within a card and between cards.

Ideally, this would work for more than just sections and be possible for any portion of the text. e.g., Notion allows you to hyperlink to any specific block on the page.

That said, you don’t have to use a block-based editor to accomplish this, Google Chrome has it baked in by default (it just doesn’t work on Guru cards) like this:

https://www.getguru.com/#:~:text=Eliminate%20time%2Dwasting%20knowledge%20silos%20and%20shoulder%20taps.

This would be very helpful!

Hey everyone! Thanks for the many comments, feedback and patience. This feature is currently in the works and I will report back once complete! 

​@Noah Carpenter - I see where you merged with this request with Ability to add anchors in cards without markdown. One of the components of that request was was several people expression the frustration that Folder Paths are not included in the preview suggestions for links.

QUESTION

Given that you’ve merged these requests, is that something being scoped as a part of this feature request or do we need to make a separate request for that?

It’s somewhat similar to the request to Make Folder path visible when creating new Cards but that one is worded in such a way that it’s about adding this functionality when creating new cards, not when referencing existing cards via Guru links.

Though, it does contain language asking about this behavior when referencing folders (e.g., when assigning a card to a folder and there are multiple folders with that name).

Hey ​@Skyler Reeves! No, making the folder path visible in the preview suggestion is not apart of the linking to subheaders scope. For the sake of merging requests, we don’t take comments into consideration. While it is generally very helpful context when scoping work, the discussion, suggestions and ideas they contain can also fork from the initial request itself, and the request is what is garnering upvotes, not the comments. 

​@Noah Carpenter, that’s what I though. But just so I’m clear, the summary is:

• No, that is not scoped as part of this feature.
• I will need to create a separate feature request for that.

Good to go. Will do.

Is there an ETA on when this will be available?

​@David MacVicar Once development is complete we will be testing this internally pretty rigorously looking for bugs and edge cases, and it’s impossible to say how long that will take due to the potential for unknown unknowns. We’re probably looking at a few more weeks. 

Is there a way to be notified when this is ready?

I kind of assumed the software would already be able to do this, or at least let me create my own links to specific sections, but Guru seems to override that by pointing you to the card only no matter how I structure it.

​@Donald Halinka I will be updating this thread when it’s released!
