How to always show scrollbar in macOS

In macOS, scrollbars are typically hidden when not in use. They only appear when you start scrolling. While this design keeps the interface clean, it can be inconvenient when working with large documents or multiple windows.

To make navigation easier, you can change your settings to always show the scrollbar. This adjustment provides a consistent view of your position within any content, improving your overall workflow.

This guide explains how to modify the macOS settings so the scrollbar remains visible at all times in all applications.

1. Click on the Apple menu in the top-left corner of your screen.
2. Select System Preferences from the dropdown menu.
3. Click on General in the System Preferences window.
4. Find the Show scroll bars section.
5. Select the Always option.
6. Close the System Preferences window to apply the changes.
