Styling a Scrollytelling Image
Organizing Scrollytelling Image sections
Scrollytelling is a great way to add a visual flow to your project. After scrolling through the Scrollytelling section, the background fades into that of the subsequent Scrollytelling section. Meanwhile, elements placed inside Scrollytelling sections continue to move in a standard scrolling behavior.
Note: We recommend that you add more than one Scrollytelling Image section in a chain to have a smooth transition effect, this will allow you to unleash its full potential.
