initiate rendering, as a first scroll bar in a user interface to an application, of a first column comprising content previews;
initiate rendering, as a second scroll bar in the user interface, of a second column comprising detailed content corresponding to the content previews, wherein a portion of the detailed content corresponds to one of the content previews, and wherein a second portion of the detailed content corresponds to a second one of the content previews;
in response to detecting a moving input applied to the first column:
scroll the content previews in a direction of the moving input applied to the first column such that the one of the content previews is no longer present in the user interface; and
scroll the detailed content in the direction of the moving input applied to the first column such that the portion of the detailed content corresponding to the one of the content previews remains present in the user interface; and
in response to detecting a moving input applied to the second column:
scroll the content previews in a direction of the moving input applied to the second column such that the second one of the content previews is no longer present in the user interface; and
