Thanks Rob, very useful. Got me started for sure!

This is what I used to freeze the page underlying in the place I left it.

**Javascript run before the workflow 'show Popup**

savedScrollY = window.scrollY;  
let x = document.getElementById(“myPage”);  
x.style.position = “fixed”;  
x.style.top = -savedScrollY + “px”;

**Javascript run when closing the popup**

let x = document.getElementById(“myPage”);  
x.style.position = “absolute”;  
x.style.top = “”;  
window.scrollTo(0, savedScrollY);

I wasn’t worried about my popup detail scrolling inside the popup but I did want the page to ‘stay where I left it’. Hope this helps anyone who wanted that.
