Anchors are frequently used in messages containing a significant amount of content and are convenient because they send recipients directly to specific sections within the content and reduces the amount of scrolling that a recipient would need to do.   

Long-format content, like newsletters, can benefit from using lists of links to different sections by making it easier and quicker for recipients to pinpoint content that captures their attention. You can also add convenient links that go to anchors on your Act-On Landing Pages as well.
