To format a new drop-down link in your navigation bar on Webflow to match the style of the other menu items, you can follow these steps:

Select the navigation bar element: In the Webflow Designer, locate the navigation bar element and select it by clicking on it.
Add a new dropdown link: Inside the selected navigation bar element, click on the "Add" button to add a new link. Choose the option for a dropdown link from the dropdown menu.
Customize the dropdown link style: With the dropdown link selected, you can customize its style to match the other menu items. Here are some ways to achieve this:

Typography: Change the font, size, color, and other text properties to match the style of the other menu items.
Background and border: Adjust the background color and border properties of the dropdown link to match the rest of the navigation bar.
Padding and margins: Ensure that the padding and margins of the dropdown link align with the other menu items.
Hover and active states: Customize the styles for when the dropdown link is hovered over or active to provide visual feedback to users.

Style the dropdown menu: In addition to styling the dropdown link, you may also want to customize the appearance of the dropdown menu itself. You can do this by selecting the dropdown menu element and applying similar styling properties as you did for the dropdown link.
Apply the styles to all dropdown links: If you have multiple dropdown links in your navigation bar, you can save time by applying the same styles to all of them. To do this, select the first dropdown link and copy its styles. Then, select the other dropdown links one by one and paste the copied styles onto each one.

By following these steps, you can format a new drop-down link in your navigation bar on Webflow to match the style of the other menu items seamlessly.
