To ensure that the interaction in a symbol is active wherever you place it on a page or template in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create the Symbol: First, create the symbol that you want to use with the desired interaction. To create a symbol, select the elements you want to include in the symbol and click on the "Create Symbol" button in the top-right corner of the Webflow designer.

  2. Add the Interaction: Once the symbol is created, you can add the interaction to it. Select the symbol on the canvas and go to the Interactions panel on the right side of the designer. Click on the "+" button to add a new interaction to the symbol.

  3. Configure the Interaction: In the interaction panel, you can configure the desired interaction for the symbol. This can include animations, transitions, or other interactive effects. Set the trigger for the interaction, such as on click or on hover.

  4. Apply the Symbol: After configuring the interaction, you can apply the symbol to any page or template in Webflow. This can be done by dragging and dropping the symbol from the symbols panel onto the desired location on the canvas.

  5. Test the Interaction: Once the symbol is placed on the canvas, preview the page or template to test the interaction. You should see that the interaction is active wherever the symbol is placed.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the interaction in a symbol remains active regardless of where it is placed on a page or template in Webflow.
