Yes, it is possible to disable clicking anywhere in the navbar to close the menu in Webflow. By default, when you click outside the navbar, Webflow automatically closes the menu. However, if you want to prevent this behavior, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the navbar element in the Webflow Designer.
  2. In the right sidebar, click on the "Settings" tab.
  3. Scroll down to the "Navbar" section and click on the toggle switch next to "Auto-close menu".
  4. When the toggle switch is turned off (grayed out), it means that clicking outside the navbar will not close the menu.

By disabling the auto-close menu feature, you can create more customized navigation experiences for your visitors. This can be particularly useful if you have complex dropdown menus or if you want to add additional functionality to the navbar that shouldn't be affected by clicking outside the menu.

Keep in mind that by disabling the auto-close menu feature, you will need to provide your own way for users to close the menu. This can be done by adding a close button within the menu itself or by using interactions to trigger the menu to close when a specific element is clicked.

In summary, to disable clicking anywhere in the navbar to close the menu in Webflow, you need to turn off the auto-close menu feature in the navbar settings.
