To create a horizontal scrolling section on mobile in Webflow without using custom CSS/JS, you can follow these steps:

Add a Section: Start by adding a new section to your Webflow project where you want the horizontal scrolling section to be.
Set the Overflow: Select the section you just added and go to the Settings panel on the right side. Under the Layout section, change the overflow property to "auto." This allows the content within the section to scroll horizontally.
Create a Wrapper: Inside the section, add a new div element and give it a class name (e.g., "scroll-wrapper"). This div will act as a container for the horizontally scrolling content.
Set the Flexbox Layout: With the "scroll-wrapper" selected, go to the settings panel and change the display property to "flex." This allows you to control the layout and positioning of the children elements.
Add Content: Inside the "scroll-wrapper" div, add the content you want to scroll horizontally. This can be images, text, or any other elements.
Set the Flex Direction: With the "scroll-wrapper" still selected, change the flex-direction property to "row." This ensures that the content is laid out horizontally.
Adjust the Styling: To make the scrolling section visually appealing, you can style the "scroll-wrapper" div and its contents. You can change the spacing, add borders, adjust the font size, etc., as per your design requirements.
Test and Refine: Preview your website and test the horizontal scrolling section on mobile. Make sure it functions and appears as you intended. If needed, make any necessary adjustments to the positioning, size, or styling of the content.

By following these steps, you can create a horizontal scrolling section on mobile in Webflow without using custom CSS/JS. This ensures compatibility and ease of maintenance within the Webflow visual editor.
