To create a side navbar using Webflow that can be used as a symbol on all pages of your clothing store website, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create a new symbol: In the Webflow Designer, click on the "Add" button in the top-left corner and select "Symbol" from the dropdown menu. This will create a new blank symbol.

  2. Design your side navbar: Within the new symbol, you can start designing your side navbar. Use the various elements and styling tools in the Designer to create your desired look for the navbar. You can add links, buttons, or any other elements you need.

  3. Position your side navbar: Once you have designed your side navbar, you need to position it on the page. You can use the "Position" properties in the Style panel to set the navbar to be fixed to the left or right side of the screen.

  4. Group your elements: Select all the elements of your side navbar and group them by right-clicking and selecting "Group" from the context menu. This will ensure that all the elements stay together as a single unit when you use the symbol on other pages.

  5. Save and exit: After you have finished designing and positioning your side navbar, click on the "Save" button in the top-right corner to save the symbol. You can then exit the symbol editor.

  6. Add the symbol to your pages: To use the side navbar symbol on other pages, simply drag and drop it from the Symbols panel onto the desired page. This will place an instance of the symbol on the page, which you can then customize further if needed.

  7. Make changes to the symbol: If you want to make changes to the side navbar, you can do so by double-clicking on the symbol instance on any page. This will open the symbol editor, where you can make changes that will be reflected on all pages where the symbol is used.

By following these steps, you can create a side navbar in Webflow that can be used as a symbol on all pages of your clothing store website. This allows for easy management and consistency across your site.
