Add bookmarks and link to them in Pages for iCloud
You can add bookmarks to your document so you can quickly navigate to specific content. Bookmarks don’t show in the document, but you can see them in the Bookmarks tab in the Document sidebar.
To give other readers quick access to bookmarked information, you can add links to bookmarks in the document body. For example, if you bookmark a page with an important table, you can link to that page from any text in your document that refers to that table. You can also add links to content formatted with specific paragraph styles. This makes it easy to link to chapter headings, subheads, and so on.
You can add bookmarks and link to them only in word-processing documents; however, you can link to pages in page layout documents.
