unscroll
Reveal by unrolling
To unscroll is to unfurl or open something rolled up, like a scroll or document: She unscrolled the ancient map across the table.
In digital contexts, it can mean to reverse the direction of scrolling, moving back up through content previously passed.
The word is uncommon, with scroll down and scroll up handling most computing usage.
