Scroll Indicator
An animated "scroll down" cue — a short label and a bouncing chevron that invites visitors to keep going, usually at the bottom of a hero. Click it to smooth-scroll to the next section. Like every block in the library, it is a second authoring surface, not a second renderer: the canvas preview and the front end are produced by the same server-side code as the page builder, so the output is identical either way.
Options
Select the block and open the Settings (block) tab; the whole sidebar is generated from the element's option schema, so it stays in step with the page builder.
| Option | What it does |
|---|---|
Text (text, title) | The label above the icon (e.g. "Scroll to descend"). |
Icon (icon, icon_color, icon_size) | The cue glyph — a chevron by default. |
Layout (layout, stacked, inline) | Stack the label above the icon, or place them inline. |
Animation (animation, bounce, pulse, nudge) | The motion that draws the eye. |
Target (target) | The section to smooth-scroll to when clicked. |
The block also opts into WordPress Margin / Padding (and, where it makes sense, alignment), which inherit the site's design system from theme.json.
Some people set "reduce motion" at the OS level because animation makes them dizzy. Wrap non-essential motion in a @media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) query and dial it down — the browser exposes that preference so you can honour it. A gentle cue is helpful; a relentless bounce for someone who asked for calm is not. MDN: prefers-reduced-motion
Sample content
A block stores only what you change as one upOptions object; the element's declared defaults fill in the rest at render time. The demo above uses the defaults:
