Yes, I have encountered the issue where the navigator panel does not display in Webflow. This can be a frustrating problem as the navigator panel is an essential tool for organizing and managing elements on the canvas. Here are some troubleshooting steps to resolve this issue:

Clear cache: Sometimes, the navigator panel not displaying can be due to a temporary caching issue. Try clearing your browser cache and refreshing the page. This can often solve the problem.
Check browser compatibility: Ensure that you are using a supported browser for Webflow. Webflow works best on the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge. If you are using an unsupported browser, switch to a supported one and see if the issue persists.
Check zoom level: The navigator panel may not appear if your browser's zoom level is set too low. Make sure the zoom level is set to 100% or try zooming in to see if the panel reappears.
Enable navigator display: In some cases, the navigator panel may have been accidentally hidden. To check if this is the case, go to the "Controls" section of the right sidebar and make sure the "Navigator" checkbox is ticked. If it's not selected, click on it to enable the display of the navigator panel.
Try a different device: If the navigator panel still doesn't display, try accessing Webflow on a different device to see if the issue is specific to your current device. It's possible that there may be a compatibility issue with your device or browser settings.
Contact Webflow support: If none of the above solutions work, it is recommended to reach out to Webflow support for assistance. They have dedicated support channels to help users with technical issues and can provide further guidance to resolve the problem.

By following these troubleshooting steps, you should be able to resolve the issue of the navigator panel not displaying in Webflow and regain full control over organizing your elements.
