## FAQ

### Can I pause the Arrow down loop?

It pauses by itself while scrolled out of view and stays on its first frame when reduced motion is preferred or autoplay={false} is set. That first frame is empty for this icon, so keep a text label such as "Loading…" next to it. To show it only while something is pending, render it conditionally.

### Is Arrow down decorative?

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

### Can Arrow down loop only while hovered instead?

Yes: pass interaction="hover-loop". It then loops while hovered, finishes the current cycle after mouseleave and stays static when reduced motion is preferred.
