Use cases & best practices

What can I use the Back to Top web part for?

The Back to Top web part is ideal for improving navigation on long SharePoint pages. It gives users a quick way to return to the top without needing to scroll manually. You might use it to:

• Enhance usability on content-heavy pages such as policies, guidelines, or knowledge articles.
• Improve navigation on landing pages with multiple sections or web parts.
• Support accessibility by giving all users an easy, predictable way to move through the page.
• Reduce friction on mobile devices where long scrolling can be slower or less convenient.
• Add a simple navigational aid to templates, ensuring consistent behavior across sites.

Any time your page includes lots of scrolling - or you want to offer a small but meaningful boost to user experience - the Back to Top web part makes navigation more efficient.
