Yes, you can create a hover preview effect for slider-navigation arrows in Webflow. This effect allows you to display a preview of the next or previous slide when hovering over the arrow buttons of a slider.

To achieve this effect in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

Select the slider navigation arrows: First, select the slider on your page and enter the Slider settings panel. In this panel, you will find options to customize the appearance of the slider navigation arrows. Select the arrow element(s) that you want to add the hover preview effect to.
Add a hover interaction: Once you have selected the arrow element, go to the Interactions panel. Create a new hover interaction by clicking on the "+" icon. This will open the interaction editor.
Set up the hover interaction: In the interaction editor, you will see a timeline where you can add different actions to create the desired effect.

Start with the initial state: On the timeline, set the initial state of your arrow element. This will be the default appearance of the arrow. You can adjust the size, position, opacity, and any other styling options to match your design.
Create the hover state: Add a new state to the timeline, and modify the styling of the arrow to create the desired hover effect. For example, you can increase the size, change the color, or add a box-shadow effect to make it stand out.
Add the preview slide: In the hover state, add a Display: None interaction to hide the current slide. Then, add a new interaction to show the preview slide that you want to display. This can be achieved by selecting the preview slide element and adding a Display: Block interaction to reveal it. Adjust the position and styling of the preview slide as needed.

Fine-tune the timing and easing: Adjust the timing and easing options in the interaction editor to control the speed and smoothness of the hover preview effect. You can experiment with different settings to achieve the desired result.
Test and refine: Preview the effect in the Webflow Designer and make any necessary adjustments to the styling, timing, or other settings until you are satisfied with the hover preview effect.

By following these steps, you can create a hover preview effect for slider-navigation arrows in Webflow, adding an interactive and engaging element to your website.
