Publishing links - heading and anchor links
In-page links to another page in the source space are updated to published pages in the target space on publishing.
However, Confluence treats links to and from headings and anchors differently from the Confluence link types added in the body of a page.
links to anchors or headings are not updated except when they are created in macros such as the Confluence child or page tree macro

Page headers with a link to another page in the source space

If a link is required, add it to the text body of the appropriate section or configure it to the published target space page.
