I’m working on a site migration, going from Blocs to Elements. It’s a one pager so I have Anchor links in the Nav targeting each section. I can’t seem to get it to smooth scroll to each section. I’ve tried different snippets and code over rides, nothing seems to be working. Anyone got any idea’s?

The odd thing is that on mobile smooth scroll works from the mobil nav.

Thanks,

Arlen

You can use [Smooth Scroll for Elements | Barz Stacks](https://www.barz-stacks.eu/elements/smooth-scroll) or [Custom Scroll](https://www.multithemes.com/elements/components/custom-scroll/)

If you’re using the [built-in anchor support](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-language/component/language/anchor), you can use this method for smooth scroll:

> **[Adjust Smooth Scroll Speed | RapidWeaver Elements Docs](https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/getting-started/how-to/adjust-smooth-scroll-speed)**
>
> Adjust anchor scrolling speed with the Smooth Scroll JavaScript library

Hope that helps!

Thanks Dan,

That’s exactly what I was looking for.

I need to get in the habit of checking Elements Docs first before going rouge with my own custom snippets…lol.

No problem, it’s easy to forget the docs exist, so many Mac apps these days don’t even have them!
