Position
Position - This defines the position of the module:
Relative (default value) - The module is positioned according to the normal flow of the document, and then offset values are relative to itself based on the values of
Vertical OffsetandHorizontal Offset. The offset does not affect the position of any other elements; thus, the space given for the module in the page layout is the same as if the position were default (static).Absolute - The module is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned relative to its closest positioned ancestor (if any) or the initial containing block. The Location options determine its final position
Fixed - The element is removed from the normal document flow, and no space is created for the element in the page layout. The module is positioned based on the location options in relation to the browser window. This can be used to create a
stickymodule.
Vertical Offset - Defines the module's vertical position.
Horizontal Offset - Defines the module's horizontal position.
Z-index - Defines the order of the module in the page layout. Modules with a higher
z-indexnumber overlap modules with a lowerz-index.

Additionally, you can enable vertical motion on this module, which allows you to adjust the scrolling speed of the element without affecting the surrounding elements.
The Motion Trigger Effect feature lets you choose when the scroll effect you just applied is triggered. You can trigger the effect when the element's top, middle, or bottom is in view.
