#### Parameters

| | |
| --- | --- |
| index | the index to which to scroll. Must be non-negative. |
| scrollOffset | the offset that the item should end up after the scroll (same as [scrollToItem](/jetpack-compose/androidx.wear.compose/compose-foundation/functions/scrollToItem)) - note that positive offset refers to forward scroll, so in a top-to-bottom list, positive offset will scroll the item further upward (taking it partly offscreen) |
