+::: tip <Badge text="3.8.0+" />
+Pagination is supported using slots available with Vue Select 3.8 and above.
+:::
+
+Pagination can be a super helpful tool when working with large sets of data. If you have 1,000
+options, the component is going to render 1,000 DOM nodes. That's a lot of nodes to insert/remove,
+and chances are your user is only interested in a few of them anyways.
+
+To implement pagination with Vue Select, you can take advantage of the `list-footer` slot. It
+appears below all other options in the drop down list.
+
+To make pagination work properly with filtering, you'll have to handle it yourself in the parent.
+You can use the `filterable` boolean to turn off Vue Select's filtering, and then hook into the
+`search` event to use the current search query in the parent component.
