Document Editor Options | Enable or Disable Continuous Scroll
This article explains how to toggle the Continuous Scroll option in the QuoteCloud document editor. You can switch between viewing one page-section at a time or use continuous scrolling for a smoother editing experience when working with multi-page documents. If your documents are content heavy and your computer equipment is low spec (especially memory) you can opt to switch of continuous scrolling to limit the amount content listeners that are active in the browser.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Continuous Scroll option in QuoteCloud?
The Continuous Scroll option switches the QuoteCloud document editor between a single-page-section editing view and a continuous scrolling layout. Continuous Scroll presents the whole document in one vertical flow for smooth, uninterrupted navigation when editing or reviewing multi-page documents.
How do I enable or disable Continuous Scroll in the QuoteCloud document editor?
Open the QuoteCloud document editor and go to the Document Editor Options. Locate the Continuous Scroll (or Section Scroll) setting and toggle it on or off to switch between continuous scrolling and single-section editing. The article on Document Editor Options explains this toggle behaviour in the editor settings.
Why should I enable Section (single-section) Scroll instead of Continuous Scroll?
Section Scroll is recommended for very large or content-heavy documents. It improves browser performance by loading only one section at a time, keeping the editor lighter and faster. It also helps you stay focused by letting you navigate between sections via the section panel instead of endless vertical scrolling.
Will enabling Section Scroll affect editor performance?
Yes. Enabling Section Scroll can improve performance for very large documents because the editor loads and renders one section at a time. This reduces memory and processing demands in the browser, making editing smoother on lower-spec machines or with content-heavy files.
How does Continuous Scroll differ from single-section editing (Section Scroll)?
Continuous Scroll displays the entire document as one continuous vertical flow, making it easier to read and navigate long documents without switching views. Single-section editing (Section Scroll) shows only one page-section at a time and relies on the section panel for navigation, which reduces the amount of active content in the browser and can improve responsiveness for large documents.
When should I enable Continuous Scroll?
Enable Continuous Scroll when you want smooth, uninterrupted navigation through long or multi-page documents—especially for review, proofreading, or when context across pages matters. Continuous Scroll is ideal if your system handles rendering the full document without performance issues.
When should I disable Continuous Scroll?
Disable Continuous Scroll when working with very large or content-heavy documents on lower-spec computers (particularly those with limited memory). Turning off continuous scrolling limits the number of active content listeners and rendered content in the browser, which helps keep the editor responsive.
Will switching to Section Scroll change how I navigate between parts of a document?
Yes. With Section Scroll enabled, you use the section panel to move between sections instead of scrolling continuously. This focused navigation makes targeted edits easier and prevents having to traverse long vertical pages, while still allowing quick jumps between sections.
