How to Share a Specific Card URL on Your Gamma Site

When creating a Gamma site, is there a way to easily capture a URL that I can share (on social or email) that will take people to a specific card on a given page of the Gamma site? I tried using Support Sal (Gamma chatbot) and it said to add a button, select the desired card, and then publish it. When I did this, I could get the link I need, but then I am stuck with a button I don't want displayed. Support Sal said to right-click on the button (in the editor) and click "hide" the button display, but I didn't see this as an option. Any suggestions? Thanks for your help.

Hey Jason, 🤔 interesting one. Do you have an example Gamma site already setup with a button? I wonder if you're able to copy the link in the button and test out whether that resulting URL will jump to a particular card as desired.

One other trick that seems to work, In the upper-left "..." menu of the Gamma card you want to jump to, try "Copy card link"

Paste the URL in the browser or text box and observe the "#card-" parameter, copy that value

Manually add that #parameter to your Gamma site URL, and I believe it should jump to that location on load. Example: https://example-3pldgu3.gamma.site/#card-yhunvzhzrsqi50w

Hi Dae-Ho C. - Thanks for your quick reply.
1.
When I added a button to a live site (site has a custom URL), and published it, I was able to get it to work. Then I was able to delete the button and republish, and the previous URL with the card identified continued to work.
2.
When I followed your suggestion to get the card link and manually add the #card-.... and manually added this to the custom URL, it also worked. (If I just copied the card URL and did not adjust it to reflect the custom URL, gamma prompted me to login to get to the screen where I could edit the site.)
3.
So, all in all, your work-arounds are OK and give me the functionality I need. It would be great if Gamma could add functionality to allow us to manually add specific anchor points (and ideally give them a custom anchor-point names and that also use the custom URLs) so that we could better control our links and on-page navigation.
Thanks again for your help and quick reply!

That's a great idea. I'll share it with the team. Glad you were able to find a workable workaround!
