Hi @candid prism. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

The default behavior of the Link component in Next.js is to scroll to the top of the page when navigating to a new route. If you want to scroll to a specific id on the page, you can append your URL with a # hash link. This is possible because the Link component renders to an a element.

However, in your code, you are using the scroll prop and setting it to true. This prop is used to control whether the page should scroll to the top after a navigation. It doesn't control scrolling to a specific id.

To fix the issue, you should remove the scroll prop from your Link components and ensure that the id you are trying to scroll to exists on the page. Here's how your Link components should look:

<Link href="/#releases" className="my-auto">
  Releases
</Link>

<Link href="/#tour" className="my-auto">
  Tour
</Link>

<Link href="/#gallery" className="my-auto">
  Gallery
</Link>

<Link href="/#contact" className="my-auto">
  Contact
</Link>

Make sure that the elements with the ids releases, tour, gallery, and contact exist on your page.

For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on the Link component (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/api-reference/components/link).

Let me check the knowledge base for you. One moment! :books:

If the scrolling to a specific id is not working in production, it could be due to a few reasons:

1. The elements with the specified id do not exist on the page. Make sure that the elements with the ids releases, tour, gallery, and contact exist on your page.

2. The id is not in the correct format. The id should be a string without any special characters or spaces.

3. There might be some other JavaScript on your page that is preventing the default behavior of the a tag.

4. The issue might be related to the way your application is deployed. If you're using a static site generator or a server-side rendering framework, the behavior might be different in production.

If none of these solutions work, you might want to consider using the scrollIntoView method in JavaScript. This method scrolls the element on which it's called into the visible area of the browser window. You can use the useEffect hook in React to call this method when the component mounts.

However, this solution is not ideal because it bypasses the built-in scrolling behavior of the Link component in Next.js. It's recommended to use the built-in functionality whenever possible.

For more information, you can refer to the Next.js documentation on the Link component (https://nextjs.org/docs/pages/api-reference/components/link) and the React documentation on the useEffect hook (https://reactjs.org/docs/hooks-effect.html).
