# How do I create an anchor link?

## Overview

Have you wanted to create anchors so that users of your app can directly navigate to specific sections by specifying `#anchor` in the URL? If so, let's find out how.

## Solution

Anchors are automatically added to header text.

For example, if you define a header text via the [st.header()](/develop/api-reference/text/st.header) command as follows:

```python
st.header("Section 1")
```

Then you can create a link to this header using:

```python
st.markdown("[Section 1](#section-1)")
```
