FAQ
Does the Animated Heading appear only on page load or can it trigger on scroll?
Your animated heading will trigger once the element reaches 25% from the bottom of your visitor's screen.
So, an animated heading in your Hero Section (above the fold) will automatically appear once a visitor lands on your page since the heading will be above this line.
If you place an animated heading below the fold, the animation will trigger after the visitor scrolls to allow the element to reach the 25% line. See the gif demo below:
What is the best way to preview my animation?
Heading animations will appear while you're editing your page in Smart Builder, in Preview mode, and on the published version of your page.
The best way to test the animations is to toggle Preview mode on and off within Smart Builder.
