To make a button appear when hovering over an image in Webflow and also make it disappear when the mouse leaves the image, you can use Webflow's interactions feature. Here's a step-by-step guide on how to achieve this:

  1. Select the image you want to add the hover effect to in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Go to the "Interactions" tab in the right sidebar.
  3. Create a new interaction by clicking on the "+" icon.
  4. Choose the trigger for the interaction. In this case, select "Mouse Hover" and then "Mouse Enter".
  5. Click on the "+ Add action" button to define the action that will happen when the mouse enters the image.
  6. From the list of available actions, select "Display" and then choose "Show/Hide".
  7. In the "Show" section, select the button you want to appear when hovering over the image.
  8. Click on the "+ Add action" button again to define the action that will happen when the mouse leaves the image.
  9. This time, choose "Display" and then "Show/Hide" from the list of available actions.
  10. In the "Hide" section, select the button you want to disappear when the mouse leaves the image.
  11. Preview your website to see the hover effect in action. The button should appear when you hover over the image and disappear when the mouse leaves.

By following these steps, you can create a hover effect that makes a button appear when hovering over an image in Webflow, and also ensures that the button disappears when the mouse leaves the image.
