Cannot add sidebar link to bookmark

Hello, I have created a series of bookmarks on my SharePoint team page. I can succesfully add a link to these bookmarks from the top of my page/webpart - e.g. using the the URL #archived to goto the archive section at he bottom of the page. So there is no issue inserting links to bookmarks at the top of the page.

However when I try and add a link to a bookmark from the navigation sidebar (e.g. click on 'edit links' button to a navigation link) - it will not add a link to the bokkmark/anchor. Indeed, after adding the link to the bookmark the link is changed by SharePoint e..g. #archived becomes /SitePages/Home.aspx - if I change this to /SitePages/Home.aspx#archived or http://projects/sitepages/home.aspx - it just reverts back to /SitePages/Home.aspx 

Any ideas on how I can add a sidebar navigation link to a bookmark on my SharePoint teamsite page?

Thanks

Hi,

According to your description, my understanding is that you want to add bookmarks to navigation side.

There is no OOB way to achieve your requirement. As a workaround, you could edit master page to achieve your requirement.

You could access the site collection via SharePoint Designer 2013 and click Master Pages. Then right click seattle.master and select Edit File in Advanced Mode. After that, insert <a href = http://projects/sitepages/home.aspx#archived>archived</a>, show as figure blew.

Thanks, that does sound like the correct answer - I was hoping to avoid using SharePoint designer as I am not that familiar with it - looks like I will need to learn!

Thanks for you help.
