To create a floating link in Webflow that takes you back to the top of the page, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add a link element: Drag and drop a link element onto your page where you want the floating link to appear.

  2. Position the link: By default, the link element will be positioned at the top-left corner of your page. You can use the styling options to position it where you want it to appear on your page. For example, you can set the position to fixed and adjust the top and right properties to position it on the top-right corner.

  3. Customize the link: You can customize the appearance of the link by adding or modifying classes in the Style panel. For example, you can change the font, color, or background of the link to match your design.

  4. Add the interaction: Select the link element and go to the Interactions panel. Click on the plus icon to add a new interaction. Choose the "Scroll into view" interaction.

  5. Configure the interaction: In the "Scroll into view" interaction settings, choose the target element to scroll into view. In this case, you want the page to scroll to the top, so you can select the body element as the target.

  6. Set the offset: By default, the page will scroll to the top when the link is clicked. If you want to add an offset, for example, to scroll to a specific section below the top of the page, you can use the "Offset from the top" option in the interaction settings. Enter the value in pixels to define the offset.

  7. Test the link: Preview your page and click on the floating link. The page should scroll to the top or the specified offset position.

With these steps, you can create a floating link in Webflow that takes you back to the top of the page. This can be useful for long pages where users might need to navigate back to the top quickly.
