# Smart scroll

Smart Scroll is one of three **AI-powered capabilities** in BugBug's [AI Test Recorder](https://bugbug.io/ai-test-recorder/). It activates automatically during recording — no configuration needed.

It handles pages where content loads as you scroll, ensuring BugBug reaches the target element the same way a real user would.

### Simulating real user scroll actions

BugBug will try to behave like a human: we will automatically attempt to scroll the page to see the element and interact with it.

**So you don't need to maintain the scroll actions!** :tada:

Your tests <mark style="color:green;">**will not fail**</mark> if:

* some content on the page changed and pushed the clickable element down outside of the browser viewport
* some fixed popup or an ad covered the element completely, but it is still reachable if you scroll more

{% hint style="info" %}
You can still [manually add scroll steps](/editing-tests/manually-creating-the-test.md), for handling more complex scrolling and items with their own overflow scroll.&#x20;
{% endhint %}
