Hi,

I tried this in various browsers but all gave similar response.When I tried to navigate through a microsoft Learn module which have large number of pages I coont do it without zooming out the window since the navigation menu at the top of the document go beyond the screen length and there is no option to scroll up and down.This was happening specially for the modules which you have referred earlier since when you have reffered a module before the next page button at the bottom disappearing and you need to use the top page navigation menu or go the complete module page and go back using previous button.Someonce advice here is highly appreciated.

thank you

Kind regards

Isuru

    This behavior is related to how the page layout responds when the viewport is small or zoomed in. When there isn’t enough vertical space, the top navigation can occupy too much of the screen and hide other controls such as the Next/Previous buttons, especially on long, multi-page modules.

    To work around this when navigating large Microsoft Learn modules:

    1. Reduce the zoom level in the browser so more of the page (including the top navigation and bottom buttons) fits on screen.
    2. Resize the browser window to be taller (maximize the window or use full-screen mode) so the navigation bar and content area both remain visible.
    3. Use the browser’s keyboard navigation to move around the page instead of relying only on the mouse:
      • Use Tab and Shift+Tab to move focus through links and buttons (including navigation links).
      • Use Page Up/Page Down or the arrow keys to scroll the content area.
    4. If the top navigation still covers content when the window is narrow, widen the browser window so the layout can switch back from a constrained/narrow layout to a more standard layout where the navigation takes less relative space.

    These steps help ensure the navigation bar and the Next/Previous controls remain accessible even on modules with many pages.
