If you are using Elementor for your website design, adding dots navigation to the horizontal page scroll can be a great feature to enhance user experience. Dots navigation is a graphical representation of where the user is on the page and allows them to navigate easily to their desired section without having to scroll manually.
With the Horizontal Scroll widget and Carousel Remote widget from The Plus Addons for Elementor, you can easily add a dots navigation in your horizontal scrolling section.

4. Then go to the Dots tab and turn on the Dots toggle. This will add a dots navigation to the horizontal scrolling section.
Make sure to have the same number of dot items as the number of slides/sections in the Horizontal Scroll.
5. Open Dot 1 item, in the Section ID field, you have to add the first section id of the horizontal scroll section. From here you can also add an image or icon to the dot, and customise the colour and background.
You can follow the same process for other tabs, make sure to change the Section ID accordingly.
Click on the +ADD ITEM button to add more dots.
