+## Scrolling
+
+Add `.navbar-nav-scroll` to a `.navbar-collapse` (or other navbar sub-component) to enable vertical scrolling within the toggleable contents of a collapsed navbar. By default, scrolling kicks in at `75vh` (or 75% of the viewport height), but you can override that with inline or custom styles. At larger viewports when the navbar is expanded, content will appear as it does in a default navbar.
+
+Please note that this behavior comes with a potential drawback of `overflow`—when setting `overflow-y: auto` (required to scroll the content here), `overflow-x` is the equivalent of `auto`, which will crop some horizontal content.
+
+Here's an example navbar using `.navbar-nav-scroll` with `style="max-height: 100px;"`, with some extra margin utilities for optimum spacing.
+
+{{< example >}}
+<nav class="navbar navbar-expand-lg navbar-light bg-light">
+  <a class="navbar-brand" href="#">Navbar scroll</a>
+  <button class="navbar-toggler" type="button" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#navbarScroll" aria-controls="navbarScroll" aria-expanded="false" aria-label="Toggle navigation">
+    <span class="navbar-toggler-icon"></span>
+  </button>
+  <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="navbarScroll">
+    <ul class="navbar-nav mr-auto my-2 my-lg-0 navbar-nav-scroll" style="max-height: 100px;">
+      <li class="nav-item active">
+        <a class="nav-link" href="#">Home <span class="sr-only">(current)</span></a>
+      </li>
+      <li class="nav-item">

 ## Responsive behaviors
 
 Navbars can use `.navbar-toggler`, `.navbar-collapse`, and `.navbar-expand{-sm|-md|-lg|-xl}` classes to determine when their content collapses behind a button. In combination with other utilities, you can easily choose when to show or hide particular elements.
