  • In the duration field, set the length of the animation for the show/hide effect.
  • Under the actions section, select the "Show" or "Hide" option based on whether you want to show or hide the text element.
  • Customize the animation by adjusting the easing, opacity, and other settings as desired.
  1. Copy the interaction:
  • With the text element selected and the interaction panel open, click on the "Copy" button in the interaction panel. This will copy the interaction code to your clipboard.
