To create a sticky sidebar in Webflow without duplicating it, you can follow these steps:

  1. Start by adding a Div Block element to the desired location of your page where you want the sidebar to appear.
  2. Set the height and width of the Div Block to match the dimensions of your sidebar.
  3. Style the Div Block to match the appearance of your sidebar, including colors, typography, and any other necessary styles.
  4. Select the Div Block and choose "Position: Sticky" from the position dropdown in the Style panel.
  5. Specify the top positioning for your sticky sidebar in the "Top" field, for example, "100px" to make it start sticking at 100 pixels from the top of the viewport.
  6. Add any other necessary styles such as margins or padding to ensure the sticky sidebar aligns properly with the rest of your content.

By following these steps, you can create a sticky sidebar that becomes fixed on scroll without having to duplicate the sidebar element.

Example of a sticky sidebar code in Webflow:

<style>    .sticky-sidebar {        position: sticky;        top: 100px;    }</style><div class="sticky-sidebar">    <!-- Your sidebar content goes here --></div>

Remember to replace .sticky-sidebar with the appropriate class name for your Div Block element if you decide to give it a different class name.

Creating a sticky sidebar in this way allows you to have a single instance of the sidebar element in your Webflow project, which helps with maintainability and scalability.
