Dear Qualtrics community,
in my study I have included questions in which the participants have to observe for 8 seconds before they can continue to the next question. 
As a solution, I found the "timing question" option, which enables me to hide the next button (which takes the participant to the next page) for 8 seconds.
In the preview of my question block, the next button is now displayed beneath the timing question ("These page timer metrics will not be displayed to the recipient") at the bottom of the page.
The timing question takes up some space, so that I have to scroll down to get to the next button. 
Will the participants also have to scroll down, even though they don't see the timing question? If so, is it somehow possible to move the next button so that it is shown above the timing question instead of at the bottom of the page?
Or is there any other way to hide the next button for 8 seconds, instead of using a timing question?

Thank you very much in advance!
