When users press the "Page Down" key on their keyboard, or use the corresponding command in a software application, the display will shift downward, revealing the content that was not visible previously. This action allows users to continue reading or reviewing a document without having to manually scroll using a mouse or other input device.

Page down functionality is a common feature in various text editors, word processors, web browsers, PDF viewers, and many other software applications. It is sometimes accompanied by a complementary action called "page up," which allows users to scroll upward in the same incremental manner. Together, these actions help users efficiently navigate and consume large volumes of digital content more effortlessly and conveniently.
