# Mouse scroll

Mouse scroll is the action of instructing the browser to scroll the page up or down by a fixed number of scrolls. This action helps you actively move the screen to areas of content hidden below or above the webpage.

#### Configuration parameters:

* Number of scrolls: The number of scrolls performed.
  * *Positive number (e.g., `5`)*: Scroll the screen down 5 times.
  * *Negative number (e.g., `-3`)*: Scroll the screen up 3 times.

#### Real-world example: Scroll the screen to load more data or check the interface

When you are browsing a news page or an e-commerce product list, you need to scroll down a fixed short distance to activate the website's lazy load feature for loading new articles:

* Configuration method: Drag the Mouse scroll action into the flow ➔ Enter the value `6` in the *Number of scrolls* field.
* Result: The browser will scroll down exactly 6 scrolls decisively to push the screen down.

## 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.gpmautomate.com/automate-en/action-guides/mouse/mouse-scroll.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.
