<span class="content">Overview</span><a class="self-link" href="#snap-model"></a></h2>
<p>This module introduces control over <dfn id="scroll-snap-position">scroll snap positions</dfn>,
which are scroll positions
that produce particular alignments of content
ithin a scrollable viewport.
Using the <a class="property" href="#propdef-scroll-snap-type">scroll-snap-type</a> property
n the relevant <a href="#scroll-container">scroll container</a>,
the author can request a particular bias for the viewport to land on a
<ins>valid</ins>
<a target="delta" class="delta" href="diff-notes#change-valid">V</a>
<a href="#scroll-snap-position">snap position</a>
after scrolling operations.
<p><a href="#scroll-snap-position">Snap positions</a> can be specified
as a particular alignment (<a class="property" href="#propdef-scroll-snap-align">scroll-snap-align</a>)

This is conceptually equivalent to specifying the alignment of an

<p><ins>The act of adjusting the scroll offset
of a scroll container’s visual viewport
such that it is aligned to a snap position
is called <dfn lt="snap">snapping</dfn>,
and a <a>scroll container</a> is said to be
<a>snapped</a> to a <a>snap position</a>

<p>or snapping the section elements.
<pre>section { scroll-snap-align: start; } /* snap entire section - including content */</pre>
<p>If the author chooses mandatory snapping of the headings,
and one section is longer than the viewport,
then the reader will have difficulty accessing the content that overflows the screen,
because mandatory snapping does not allow the scroll position to rest
on the content between the snapped headings.

(which contains all the content of the section)
then the UA can allow the reader to scroll freely through the entire section
in the cases where the content is longer than the screen.

<p>Since the purpose of scroll snapping is to align content within the viewport
for optimal viewing:
in all cases, the specified alignment creates a valid <a href="#scroll-snap-position">snap position</a> only if at least part of the <a href="#scroll-snap-area">snap area</a> is within the <a href="#scroll-snapport">snapport</a>.
For example, a <a href="#scroll-snap-area">snap area</a> is top-aligned to the <a href="#scroll-snapport">snapport</a> if its top edge is coincident with the <a href="#scroll-snapport">snapport</a>’s top edge;
however, this alignment is nonetheless not a valid <a href="#scroll-snap-position">snap position</a> if the entire <a href="#scroll-snap-area">snap area</a> is outside the <a href="#scroll-snapport">snapport</a>.</p>
<details class="note" role="note">
<summary>Why limit snapping to only when the element is visible?</summary>
As the <a href="https://www.webkit.org/blog/4017/scroll-snapping-with-css-snap-points/">WebKit implementers point out</a>,
extending a snap edge infinitely across the canvas
only allows for snapping gridded layouts,
and produces odd behavior for the user
when off-screen elements do not align
with on-screen elements.
(If this requirement is onerous for implementers however,
we can default to a gridded behavior
and introduce a switch to get smarter behavior.)

then any scroll position in which the <a href="#scroll-snap-area">snap area</a> covers the <a href="#scroll-snapport">snapport</a> is a valid <a href="#scroll-snap-position">snap position</a> in that axis.

<div class="example" id="example-068e927e">

The author wants mandatory snapping from item to item,
but if the item happens to be larger than your viewport,
you want to be able to scroll around the whole thing once you’re over it.
<p>Since the <a href="#scroll-snap-area">snap area</a> is larger than the <a href="#scroll-snapport">snapport</a>,
while the area fully fills the viewport,
the container can be scrolled arbitrarily and will not try to snap back to its aligned position.
However, if the container is scrolled such that the area
no longer fully fills the viewport in an axis,
the area resists outward scrolling
until you fling out or pull it sufficiently to trigger snapping to a different <a href="#scroll-snap-position">snap position</a>.</p>

<p>The precise model algorithm to select a <a href="#scroll-snap-position">snap position</a> to snap to
is intentionally left mostly undefined,
so that user agents can take into account sophisticated models of user intention and interaction
and adjust how they respond over time,

<p>This section defines some useful concepts to aid in discussing scroll-snapping mechanics,
and provides some guidelines for what an effective scroll-snapping strategy might look like.
User agents are encouraged to adapt this guidance
and apply their own best judgement
when defining their own snapping behavior.
It also provides a small number of behavior requirements,
to ensure a minimum reasonable behavior that authors can depend on
when designing their interfaces with scroll-snapping in mind.</p>

<p>When a page is scrolled,
the action is performed with
an intended end position
and/or an intended direction.
Each combination of these two things
defines a distinct category of scrolling,
which can be treated slightly differently:</p>
<dl>
<dt>
<p><dfn id="explicit-scroll">explicit scrolling</dfn></p>
<dd>
<p>A scroll is <a href="#explicit-scroll">explicit</a> if it has an intended end position,
but no intended direction.</p>
<p>This includes methods such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>a panning gesture,
released without momentum</p>
<li>
<p>manipulating the scrollbar "thumb" explicitly</p>
<li>
<p>programmatically scrolling via APIs such as <code class="idl"><a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-view-1/#dom-window-scrollto">scrollTo()</a></code></p>
<li>
<p>tabbing through the document’s focusable elements</p>
<li>
<p>navigating to an anchor within the page</p>
</ul>
<dt>
<p><dfn id="inertial-scroll">inertial scrolling</dfn></p>
<dd>
<p>A scroll is <a href="#inertial-scroll">inertial</a> if it has both an intended end position
and an intended direction.</p>
<p>This includes methods such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>a "fling" gesture,
released with momentum
(the "intended" end position might be implicitly determined by the UA’s scrolling physics,
but the strength of the user’s fling still expresses a weak intention
about where the scroll should end up)</p>
<li>
<p>a mousewheel scroll</p>
<li>
<p>programmatically scrolling via APIs such as <code class="idl"><a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/cssom-view-1/#dom-window-scrollby">scrollBy()</a></code></p>
</ul>
<p>The scroll position that an <a href="#inertial-scroll">inertial</a> scroll would naturally land on
without further intervention is the <dfn id="natural-end-point">natural end-point</dfn>.</p>
<dt>
<p><dfn id="directional-scroll">directional scrolling</dfn></p>
<dd>
<p>A scroll is <a href="#directional-scroll">directional</a> if it has an intended direction,
but no intended end point.</p>
<p>This includes methods such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>
<p>pressing an arrow key on the keyboard</p>
</ul>
</dl>
<p>Additionally, because page layouts usually align things vertically and/or horizontally,
UAs sometimes <dfn id="axis-lock">axis-lock</dfn> a scroll when its direction
is sufficiently vertical or horizontal.
An <a href="#axis-lock">axis-locked</a> scroll is bound to only scroll along that axis.
This prevents,
for example,
a <em>nearly</em> horizontal fling gesture from gradually drifting up or down as well,
because it is very difficult to fling in a precisely horizontal line.</p>

<p class="note" role="note">Note: This is the “default” type of <a href="#snap-behavior">snap behavior</a> that most <a href="https://drafts.csswg.org/css-snappoints-1/#scroll-container">scroll containers</a> will want to use,
