To adjust in-page linking in Webflow and position the linked page section in the middle of the screen instead of at the top, you can follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the page where you want to create the in-page link.

  2. Select the element that you want to link to the middle of the screen. This could be a section, a div block, or any other element.

  3. In the right-hand panel, select the Settings tab and scroll down to the Link settings.

  4. Enable the ID attribute by giving it a meaningful name. For example, if you have a section named "about" that you want to target, you can set the ID attribute as "about".

  5. Next, select the element or text that you want to use as the link anchor. This is the element that your website visitors will click on to navigate to the linked section.

  6. In the right-hand panel, go to the Link settings and click on the "Choose" button next to the page or section field.

  7. Choose the same page from the dropdown list or select the section within that page that you want to link to.

  8. Once you have selected the target page or section, click on the "Advanced" tab.

  9. In the URL field, append the ID attribute of the target section preceded by a # symbol. For example, if you named the target section "about", the URL field would be #about.

  10. After making these adjustments, publish your site to see the changes take effect.

By following these steps, your in-page link will now scroll to the middle of the screen instead of at the top when clicked.
