# Adjust Smooth Scroll Speed

If you want to control the scroll timing (and other options such as easing) when scrolling to an anchor then you can use the [Smooth Scroll](https://github.com/cferdinandi/smooth-scroll) js library.

To add Smooth Scroll to yoru project, put the following in your project’s Template, just before the closing `</head>` tag.

```html
  <!-- Load the Smooth Scroll library -->
  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/cferdinandi/smooth-scroll@15/dist/smooth-scroll.polyfills.min.js"></script>

  <!-- Initialize Smooth Scroll -->
  <script>
    document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
      var scroll = new SmoothScroll('a[href*="#"]', {
        speed: 1000
      });
    });
  </script>
```

Note the **speed** option in the docs say this:

> \[speed] is a number representing the amount of time in milliseconds that it should take to scroll 1000px. Scroll distances shorter than that will take less time, and scroll distances longer than that will take more time. The default is 300ms.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.realmacsoftware.com/elements-docs/elements-app/how-to/adjust-smooth-scroll-speed.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
