How to create a scrollable container in Bubble.io?

Step 1: Create a New Bubble.io Project

Log in to your Bubble.io account.
Click on "New App" and follow the prompts to set up a new project.

Step 2: Add a New Page or Select an Existing One

In your Bubble.io editor, navigate to the "Pages" dropdown menu on the top left corner of your screen.
Select an existing page or click "New Page" to create a new one.

Step 3: Draw a Container

From the left-side panel, drag a "Group" element onto your page. This will act as your container.
Resize the group to your desired dimensions using the blue handles.

Step 4: Configure the Group to be Scrollable

Click on the "Group" container to select it.
Navigate to the property editor on the right side of the screen.
In the "Group" property editor, locate the "Layout" tab.
Find the "Container Layout" dropdown and choose "Column" or "Row" based on your preference for content stacking.
Set the "Overflow" setting to "scroll" or "auto." This ensures that when the content exceeds the container size, a scrollbar will appear.

Step 5: Add Content to the Container

Drag various elements (text, images, repeating groups, etc.) into your scrollable container.
Make sure the total height of these elements exceeds the height of the group container, so that the scroll bar will be activated.

Step 6: Adjust Styling and Settings

Use the right-side property editor to adjust padding, margins, and other styling options to ensure the scrollable container is visually appealing.
Test your scrollable container by previewing the page in the Bubble.io editor and ensuring it functions as expected.

Step 7: Test Responsiveness

To make sure your scrollable container looks good on various devices, use the responsive design mode in Bubble.io to test it on different screen sizes.
Adjust any settings if necessary to ensure the scrollable container is responsive and user-friendly across all devices.

Final Thoughts

By following these steps, you should have a fully functional scrollable container in your Bubble.io application. Feel free to experiment with different content and layout configurations to achieve the desired user interface design.
