vertical scroll

Short Definition
The action of moving content up or down on a screen to view additional content that extends beyond the visible area. It is the most common scrolling method for reading documents and browsing websites.
Relevance
Vertical scroll allows users to move through content on a screen. Mastering this feature is crucial for navigating long pages, documents, or apps with ease. Understanding how vertical scroll works, and explaining it to others, helps users quickly access information that may not be visible on the initial screen, improving their overall interaction with digital platforms.
