+title: Viewport Scrollbar Customization
+summary: Documentation for configuring OHIF viewport scrollbar behavior, including progress vs legacy mode, loaded/viewed tracking visuals, loading pattern behavior, timing controls, and viewportScrollbar.indicator (size + optional custom indicator).
+sidebar_position: 7
+---
+
+# Viewport Scrollbar
+
+The viewport scrollbar customization controls whether OHIF uses:
+
+- the new progress-based scrollbar (`viewportScrollbar.variant: 'progress'`), or
+- the legacy range-input scrollbar (`viewportScrollbar.variant: 'legacy'`).
+
+When using `'progress'`, stack and acquisition-plane volume viewports run in full progress mode (fills/endpoints/loading options apply - see below), while other slice-capable viewports run in minimal mode (indicator only).
+
+## Advanced: `viewportScrollbar.indicator` {#viewport-scrollbar-indicator-advanced}
+
+`viewportScrollbar.indicator` sets the progress indicator’s **outer size** (`totalWidth`, `totalHeight`, border included) and a **`renderIndicator`** function. The platform passes **`React`** into `renderIndicator` so the same shape works from plain **`window.config`** files (use `React.createElement` there instead of JSX). If **`totalWidth`**, **`totalHeight`**, and **`renderIndicator`** are not all valid, the default pill indicator is used.
+
+For richer UI, declare the override in an extension **`getCustomizationModule`** (or another **`.tsx`** module) where you can return real JSX from `renderIndicator`.
+
+To read layout while drawing the indicator (track size, loading state, **`isDragging`**, etc.), use **`useSmartScrollbarLayoutContext`** from `@ohif/ui-next` inside a **small React component** that you return from `renderIndicator` (for example `return <MyIndicator />` or `React.createElement(MyIndicator)`). **Do not** call that hook directly in the `renderIndicator` function body: that function is not a component render, so hooks would break the rules of React.

+summary: Documentation for OHIF's ViewedDataService, which tracks dataIds a user has viewed and publishes change events for incremental UI updates.
+---
+
+# Viewed Data Service
+
+## Overview
+
+`ViewedDataService` tracks which dataIds have been marked as viewed in the
+current session. Internally it stores ids in a `Set<string>` and publishes a
+single event whenever viewed state changes.
+
+Typical usage is to:
+
+- mark a data item as viewed when users land on a slice
+- query whether a data item has been viewed to seed UI state
+- subscribe to viewed changes for incremental updates
+- clear viewed state when a context reset is needed
+
+## Events
+
+The following events are published by `ViewedDataService`.
+
+| Event | Description |
+| --- | --- |
+| `VIEWED_DATA_CHANGED` | Fired when one data item is newly marked viewed, or when all viewed data is cleared. |
+
+### Event payload
+
+```ts
+type ViewedDataPayload = {
+  viewedDataId?: string;
+  viewedDataCleared?: boolean;
+};
+```
+
+- When a single data item is marked viewed: `{ viewedDataId: string }`
+- When all viewed data is cleared: `{ viewedDataCleared: true }`
+
+## API
+
+- `markDataViewed(dataId: string): void`
+
+  Marks one data item as viewed and emits `VIEWED_DATA_CHANGED` only if:
+
+  - `dataId` is truthy, and
+  - it was not already marked viewed.
+
+- `isDataViewed(dataId: string): boolean`
+
+
+  Returns `true` if `dataId` is currently in the viewed set.
+
+- `clearViewedData(): void`
+
+    Clears all viewed dataIds and emits `VIEWED_DATA_CHANGED` with
+`{ viewedDataCleared: true }`.
+
+- `subscribeViewedDataChanges(listener): Subscription`
+
+    Subscribes to `VIEWED_DATA_CHANGED` payloads.
+
+  ```ts
+  const subscription = viewedDataService.subscribeViewedDataChanges(payload => {
+    if (payload.viewedDataCleared) {
+      // reset local viewed state
+      return;
+    }
+
+    if (payload.viewedDataId) {
+      // mark one data item as viewed locally
+    }
+  });
+
+  // later
+  subscription.unsubscribe();
+  ```
+
+## Notes
+
+- Service registration name: `viewedDataService`
+- Alternate registration name: `ViewedDataService`
+- The service is session-scoped in-memory state; it is not persisted by default.
