To design the hidden part of the board in Webflow, you can utilize the "overflow" property to control the visibility and appearance of the content that extends beyond the visible portion. By default, the overflow property is set to "visible," which means that content will be displayed outside the specified container.

Here's how you can design the hidden part of the board in Webflow:

  1. Select the container: Identify the container element that holds the content you want to hide and style.

  2. Set the size and position: Ensure that the container has the desired size and position on the page. This will determine the space available for displaying the visible portion of the board.

  3. Set overflow property: In the Webflow Designer, select the container element and navigate to the Styles panel. Under the Layout section, locate the "Overflow" property. By default, it should be set to "visible." Change it to "hidden" to hide any content that exceeds the container's dimensions.

  4. Adjust content layout: Align and position your content within the container, using appropriate positioning properties such as "absolute" or "relative." This will ensure that the hidden content is positioned correctly within the container.

  5. Design the hidden content: Now, you can add and design the content that you want to be hidden initially. Apply styling, animations, or interactions as desired. Keep in mind that this hidden content will not be visible until the user interacts with the board or triggers an action.

  6. Incorporate interactions: Create interactions to reveal the hidden content when specific events occur, such as clicking a button or scrolling to a certain point on the page. Webflow's interactions feature allows you to design engaging and interactive elements seamlessly.

By following these steps, you can effectively design the hidden part of the board in Webflow, ensuring a clean and organized interface for your users.
