To remove certain elements like grids and div blocks in smaller breakpoints without affecting the larger views in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Open the Designer: Log in to your Webflow account and open your project in the Designer.

  2. Select the breakpoint: In the top right corner of the Designer, you'll see a set of breakpoints. Choose the breakpoint you want to modify. Smaller breakpoints, like mobile or tablet views, will appear lower on the list.

  3. Hide the element: Select the element you want to remove in the specific breakpoint. In the Style panel on the right, under the Display section, toggle the eye icon to hide the element for that specific breakpoint. This will prevent it from being displayed on smaller screens while keeping it visible on larger screens.

  4. Duplicate if needed: If you need a different version of the element for the specific breakpoint, duplicate the element by right-clicking on it and selecting "Duplicate". This will create a copy of the element that you can modify specifically for that breakpoint.

  5. Adjust styling: Customize the styling of the duplicated element in the specific breakpoint to achieve the desired layout or appearance. Remember that changes made to the duplicated element will only affect the selected breakpoint, not the other views.

  6. Repeat if necessary: If you have other elements that need to be hidden or modified for the specific breakpoint, follow the same steps for each element.

By following these steps, you can remove or modify elements in smaller breakpoints without affecting the larger views in Webflow. This allows you to create a responsive design that adapts and looks great on different screen sizes.
