## **Smooth Scroll Enhancement** 

Scroll-to-element actions now use smooth scrolling, instead of abrupt page jumps.

When users click a button, text link, or navigation menu item configured with “Scroll to Element,” the page transitions smoothly to the selected section. This creates a more natural browsing experience and improves visual flow, especially on long-form pages.

No additional configuration is required. Smooth scrolling is automatically applied to all scroll-to-element actions across funnels and websites.

## **Setting Up Scroll to Element**

Learn how to scroll to a specific section using a simple selector-based linking method. Once you copy the selector, you can use it with text, buttons, or menu items.

2.  Click on the section you want to scroll to.
    
3.  In the right-hand panel, go to the **Advanced** tab.
    
4.  Copy the value shown in the **CSS Selector** field.
