# Scroll Into View

Scroll Into View brings an [Element](/elements/creating-elements.md) into the visible viewport. Use it when a control sits below the fold or inside a scrollable panel and later steps need it on screen.

## When to use it

* Reveal a footer link or long-form field before a [Touch](/test-steps/action/touch.md) step.
* Scroll a row into view inside a nested table or modal panel.
* Set **Parent Element** when the target lives inside a scrollable container rather than the main page.
