## FAQ

### What does Copy do when the pointer leaves halfway?

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. Taps on touch screens are ignored, but keyboard focus plays it.

### Will screen readers read the Copy icon?

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

### Can Copy play on click instead?

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