+## Non-visible elements
+
+Target elements that aren’t visible will be ignored and their corresponding nav items won't receive an `.active` class. Scrollspy instances initialized in a non-visible wrapper will ignore all target elements. Use the `refresh` method to check for observable elements once the wrapper becomes visible.

+```js
+document.querySelectorAll('#nav-tab>[data-bs-toggle="tab"]').forEach(el => {
+  el.addEventListener('shown.bs.tab', () => {
+    const target = el.getAttribute('data-bs-target')
+    const scrollElem = document.querySelector(`${target} [data-bs-spy="scroll"]`)
+    bootstrap.ScrollSpy.getOrCreateInstance(scrollElem).refresh()
