+## Scroll Behavior
+
+To control the scroll behavior when navigating between pages, you can use the `scrollBehavior` option. This allows you to make the transition between pages instant instead of a smooth scroll. The global configuration of scroll restoration behavior has the same options as those supported by the browser, which are `smooth`, `instant`, and `auto` (see [MDN](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Element/scrollIntoView#behavior) for more information).
+
+```tsx
+import { ScrollRestoration } from '@tanstack/react-router'
+
+function Root() {
+  return (
+    <>
+      <ScrollRestoration scrollBehavior="instant" />
+      <Outlet />
+    </>
+  )
+}
+```
