To create a button in Webflow that allows users to download a CMS image, you can follow these steps:

Upload and set up your CMS image: Make sure you have already uploaded the image to your Webflow CMS. You will need to create a Collection List in order to access the CMS image.
Create a new button: Drag and drop a Button element onto your Webflow page where you want the download button to appear.
Style your button: Customize the appearance of the button using Webflow's styling options such as background color, text color, and size. You can access these options in the Style panel on the right-hand side.
Add a link block: Inside the button, create a Link Block element by dragging and dropping it from the Add panel on the left-hand side.
Set the link: With the Link Block selected, go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side and click on "Open link settings". In the Link Settings modal, choose the "External URL" option.
Set the URL: In the External URL field, enter the following Webflow dynamic field to link to the CMS image: {{your_cms_image_field.file.url}}
Update the text: You can also update the text inside the button to something like "Download" or "Get image" to make it clear to the user that clicking the button will initiate a download.
Preview and publish: Preview your changes to make sure the button is functioning correctly. Once you're satisfied, publish your site for the changes to take effect.

By following these steps, you can create a button in Webflow that allows users to download a CMS image.
