      Problem

      In Confluence Cloud, there is currently no built-in "Back to Top" button or macro. This is a common request from users who want to enhance navigation on lengthy pages.

      Suggested Solution

      Introduce a native "Back to Top" button that can be easily added to any Confluence Cloud page, allowing users to quickly return to the top of the page without having to scroll manually.

      Why This Is Important

      A "Back to Top" feature improves user experience by providing a simple and efficient way to navigate long pages. It enhances accessibility and usability, reducing the time and effort required to scroll back to the top, especially on pages with extensive content.

      Workaround

      While Atlassian has not yet provided a native solution, similar functionality can be achieved using the Anchor macro.

      Step 1: Insert an Anchor at the Top

      • Edit your Confluence page.
      • Place your cursor at the very top of the page.
      • Insert the Anchor macro (type /anchor in the editor).
      • Give the anchor a simple name, such as top.

      Step 2: Link to the Anchor

      • Scroll to the bottom (or wherever you want the "Back to Top" link).
      • Insert a link to the anchor you created:
      • Highlight the text you want to use (e.g., "Back to Top").
      • Click the link icon.
      • Enter #top as the link target.

      Result: Clicking the "Back to Top" link will jump the user to the top of the page.
