How can I set up an auto-close feature for FAQ items in Webflow's CMS? I'm having trouble figuring it out.
To set up an auto-close feature for FAQ items in Webflow's CMS, you can follow these steps:
Create a Collection: Start by creating a Collection in Webflow's CMS to store your FAQ items. Each FAQ item should have fields for the question and answer.
Add Interaction: Once your Collection is set up, go to the page where you want to display your FAQ items and add a Collection List element. Bind this element to your FAQ Collection.
Add Accordion: Inside the Collection List element, add an Accordion element for each FAQ item. You can use the Accordion component from Webflow or customize your own using interactions.
Create Trigger: After adding the Accordion element, select it and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new trigger by clicking on the '+' button and choose an appropriate event, such as page load or click.
Set Up Animation: Next, set up the animation that will automatically close the FAQ item. Choose the "Start" action and select the 'Close' option from the Accordion section. This will collapse the Accordion when the trigger event occurs.
Apply to All Items: To apply this interaction to all FAQ items, make sure the Accordion element is duplicated as a sibling for each item in the Collection List. This way, the same interaction will be applied to all elements.
Adjust Timing: Lastly, you can adjust the timing of the auto-close animation by selecting the trigger in the Interactions panel and modifying the duration and delay settings.
By following these steps, you'll be able to set up an auto-close feature for your FAQ items in Webflow's CMS. This will create a more user-friendly experience for your visitors, as they won't have to manually close each FAQ item after reading it.
