TABLE OF CONTENTS

Enable scrolling on text boxes with long content so users can read everything without changing the size of the box.


Add Scrolling Text

  1. Select the text box on the canvas

  2. Open the Text Settings panel

  3. Navigate to Scrolling Text

  4. Toggle Scrolling to ON.



Scrollbar


When scrolling is enabled, a scrollbar appears on your text box by default.



If you want to keep the text scrollable but hide the scrollbar, under Scrollbar, turn the Show toggle to OFF.



For an example of the scrollbar being set to not be shown, try scrolling through the legal text in the banner below:



Customizing the Width, Left Margin and Right Margin of the scrollbar is done in the Scrollbar settings. The Right Margin controls the distance between the scrollbar and the edge of the text. The Left Margin controls the distance between the end of the text and the scrollbar. The Width slider controls the size of the Scrollbar.


Changing the width, left margin and right margin are Global functions, so changes to them affect all sizes in your design.



Auto Scroll


Turning on the Auto Scroll function sets your text to automatically scroll. The Auto Scroll function is in the Scrolling Text options in the Text Settings panel.



Once Auto Scroll is toggled on, you can change the speed and direction of the scroll. To change the speed of the scroll, use the Speed dropdown and choose between speeds 1 through 7. The default auto scroll speed is 3.



Choosing to scroll vertically will scroll your text using its current formatting. Choosing to scroll horizontally will place each paragraph in your text on a single line of text and scroll horizontally.



Text set to Auto Scroll will loop by default. To stop the text from looping, turn the Loop toggle off in the Scrolling Text options.



When Auto Scroll is enabled, you will also have the option to enable Auto Stop. When Auto-Stop is enabled, any interaction with the text box will cause the scroll to stop.



To set a delay before the text starts scrolling, use the Delay slider under the Text Scrolling options. The delay for the start of the scroll is counted from when the design is loaded, not when the text box becomes visible.



Auto Scroll will only be visible when you Preview or Export your design.
