Deep Linking to a Panel deep-linking
The Tabs, Carousel, and Accordion Components support linking directly to a panel within the component.
To do this:
- View the page with the component using the View as Published option in the page editor.
- Inspect the content of the page and identify the ID of the panel.
- For example
id="accordion-86196c94d3-item-ca319dbb0b"
- For example
- The ID becomes the anchor you can append to the URL using a hash (
#).- For example
https://wknd.site/content/wknd/language-masters/en/magazine/western-australia.html#accordion-86196c94d3-item-ca319dbb0b
- For example
Navigating to the URL with the panel ID as anchor, the browser will scroll directly to the particular component and display the specified panel. If the panel is configured to not be expanded by default, it will be expanded automatically.
