auto-advance
Moves without input
Auto-advance is a feature that automatically moves to the next item in a sequence without requiring user input.
In presentation software, slides auto-advance after a set time.
In photo galleries or slideshows, images cycle forward on their own.
The term appears in forms, media players, and educational software: Turn off auto-advance if you want to control the pace yourself.
