### How to Adjust Parallax Activation Distance in AppSections

The "Distance" setting in AppSections allows you to control the activation zone of the parallax effect within the viewport for blocks, groups, and sections. This setting provides flexibility in defining the area where the parallax movement begins and ends, enhancing the overall visual appeal and interactivity of your components. Here is how you can adjust the parallax activation distance:

### **Parallax Activation Distance**

**Purpose:** This setting allows you to adjust the activation zone of the parallax effect within the viewport. 

**Usage:** Use the range selector to set the desired activation distance from 20% to 100%.

### Steps to Adjust Parallax Activation Distance

1. **Select the Block/Group/Section:**
   * Open your Shopify theme editor.
   * Navigate to the specific block, group, or section where you want to adjust the parallax activation distance.
2. **Locate the Distance Setting:**
   * In the settings for the block, group, or section, find the **Distance** option under the parallax settings.
3. **Adjust Activation Distance:**
   * Use the range selector to set the activation distance between 20% and 100%:
     * **20%:** Minimal activation distance, meaning the parallax effect activates in a smaller portion of the viewport.
     * **100%:** Maximum activation distance, meaning the parallax effect activates across the entire viewport.

### Ensuring the Right Activation Distance

1. **Preview Changes:**
   * After adjusting the activation distance, preview your store to see how the parallax effect looks.
   * Check the block, group, or section to ensure the activation distance is applied correctly and enhances the visual appeal and interactivity.
2. **Check Consistency:**
   * Ensure that the activation distance aligns with your brand’s aesthetic and provides a cohesive look across both desktop and mobile devices.
3. **Test Across Devices:**
   * Verify the parallax effect on different devices to ensure it looks good and maintains visual appeal on all screen sizes.

### Summary

By using the "Distance" setting in AppSections, you can control the activation zone of the parallax effect within the viewport for your blocks, groups, and sections in your Shopify store. This flexibility allows you to enhance the visual appeal and interactivity of your components, ensuring a dynamic and engaging user experience across all devices.
