# Paging tab

The **Paging** tab lets you organize search results with a fixed number of items per page. Alternatively, you can enable infinite scrolling to load content continuously as users scroll down the page, eliminating the need for paging.

> [!tip]
> When you navigate to another page, the progression of infinite scrolling is lost. To avoid this, enable the [inline preview](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/views.html "Views").

> [!note]
> **Before you begin**
> -   [Add a **Search** component](https://doc.sitecore.com/ch/en/users/content-hub/add,-modify,-or-delete-page-components.html "Add, modify, or delete page components") to the page.

## Configure paging

1. On the **Layout** tab, click the page component to open its details page.
2. In the **Tools** section, turn on the **Paging** switch.
3. On the **Paging** tab, select a **Type**, and then use the associated fields to configure paging based on that type.

    :::tab{title="Pages"}

    | Field | Description |
    | --- | --- |
    | **Page size** | Number of items displayed per page. You can set up to 3 preset page sizes by clicking :mdiPlus:. Maximum 50 items per page. |
    | **Page limit** | Maximum number of pages displayed, but no more than 100 pages. |
