To connect a navigation link to a section on another page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Webflow designer and navigate to the page where you want to add the navigation link.
  2. Select the navigation element that you want to link to the section on another page.
  3. In the right sidebar, click on the "Settings" tab.
  4. Scroll down to the "Link Settings" section and click on the "Add link" button.
  5. A modal will appear where you can choose the type of link you want to add. Select "Page" from the dropdown menu.
  6. Choose the page you want to link to from the list of available pages.
  7. Once you've selected the page, a list of sections on that page will appear. Choose the section you want to link to from the list.
  8. Click "Save" to confirm the link settings.

Your navigation link will now be connected to the section on another page. When a user clicks on the link, they will be automatically scrolled down to the specified section on the target page.

This feature is particularly useful for creating smooth scrolling navigation menus and improving the overall user experience on your website.

Note: Make sure the target section on the other page has a unique ID assigned to it. You can assign an ID to a section by selecting the element, going to the Element Settings tab in the right sidebar, and entering a unique ID in the "ID" field.

Additional Tips:

  • You can also use this method to link to an anchor on the same page. Just select the same page from the dropdown menu and choose the section with the desired ID.
  • If you want to add a link to an external website, select "External URL" in the link modal and enter the URL in the provided field.

Example Scenario:

Let's say you have a navigation menu with a "Contact" link on your homepage, and you want this link to take users to the "Contact" section on your "Contact" page. By following the steps above, you can easily connect the navigation link to the desired section on the "Contact" page.
