'Scrollen' (to scroll) is a loanword from English ('to scroll'). It is fully integrated into German and is conjugated like a regular German verb: ich scrolle, du scrollst, er hat gescrollt.
Ich habe bis ganz ans Ende der Seite gescrollt.
I scrolled all the way to the bottom of the page.
The direction of the movement is almost always given with the adverbs 'nach oben' (up), 'nach unten' (down), 'nach links' (to the left), or 'nach rechts' (to the right).
Scrolle bitte ein Stück nach oben, ich möchte das Bild noch einmal sehen.
Please scroll up a bit; I want to see the picture again.
To describe what you are looking through, the preposition 'durch' (+ accusative) is often used. To name a destination, you use 'zu' (+ dative).

When reading a digital document, both blättern and scrollen may be possible. Blättern emphasizes moving from one page to the next, whereas scrollen describes continuously shifting the view. Use blättern for individual pages and scrollen when you move through the content step by step, upward or downward.
