Scroll

Scroll-driven pinning

An element stays fixed on screen while the rest of the page scrolls past — usually while an animation plays.

What you're seeing

A section locks on screen as you scroll — content animates inside it — then releases.

Where you'll see it

Product feature sections, storytelling sequences.
