Use Chrome To Send Someone Directly To The Important Part Of A Web Page

If you need to share a particular sentence or paragraph from a long web page, Google Chrome can create a link that takes the recipient directly to that section and highlights the relevant text.

This is useful for sharing technical instructions, online guidance, policies, supplier terms or lengthy articles without making the recipient search through the entire page.

How To Create A Link To Highlighted Text

On a computer:

– Open the relevant web page in Chrome.

– Highlight the exact text you want to share.

– Right-click the highlighted text.

– Select Copy link to highlight.

– Paste the link into an email, Teams message or document.

When the recipient opens the link in a compatible browser, the page should open at the relevant section with the selected text highlighted.

Why This Is Useful

Ordinary web links usually take someone to the top of a page, leaving them to find the relevant information themselves. Copy link to highlight makes sharing more precise by taking them straight to an important paragraph, instruction, clause or other piece of information.

One Thing To Be Aware Of

The feature may not work with all selected content. If the option is unavailable or the link doesn’t work as expected, send the normal page link and explain where the relevant section appears.

This simple Chrome feature can save time, reduce confusion and make it easier to direct colleagues and customers to the exact information they need.
