## FAQ

### Does Archive finish its animation after mouse leave?

It reverses from the frame it reached back to the start, so a quick pass of the pointer gives a short nudge rather than the full 0.17 s. Keyboard focus plays it as well; a tap on a touch screen does not.

### Is Archive decorative?

By default it is aria-hidden. Pass aria-label="Archive" to announce it as an image, or leave it hidden when the link or button it sits in has its own text.

### Can Archive play on click instead?

Yes: pass interaction="click-replay". It then replays once from the start on every click unless reduced motion is preferred.
