</div>

add this when opening the modal:

```auto
if (context.browser?.["environment"] != "editor") {
  wwLib.getFrontDocument().body.style.overflow = "hidden";
  wwLib.getFrontDocument().documentElement.style.overflow = "hidden";
}

```

and this when closing the modal

```auto
if (context.browser?.["environment"] != "editor") {
  wwLib.getFrontDocument().body.style.overflow = "auto";
  wwLib.getFrontDocument().documentElement.style.overflow = "auto";
}

```

this will only apply in the published app, if you want to test it in editor remove the if part
