# Scrolling hotspots

One large image with pins on it. Each pin is tied to a content panel, and the panels move alongside the image as the visitor scrolls. Good for flatlays, room scenes, or model shots where several details each need their own note.

![Scrolling Hotspots overview](https://3215967854-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FlyCMfKbEVTf3hu8uxjSZ%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-966cc08c5d55e30430188c45ecd2d6a0198580fe%2Fglobal-sections-scrolling-hotspots-overview.png?alt=media)

**Image tip:** The hotspot image fills about half to two-thirds of the page width on desktop. Upload a large, sharp image so the small pins stay crisp.
