To link the 'grid view' page to the 'detail view' page in Webflow and scroll to the corresponding piece of content, you can follow these steps:

  1. Create the 'grid view' page: Start by designing and building your 'grid view' page in Webflow. This page will display multiple pieces of content, each of which will link to the corresponding detail view.

  2. Add an embed or link block for each piece of content: In the 'grid view' page, add an embed or link block for each piece of content. Apply a unique class name or ID to each block to help identify them.

  3. Create the 'detail view' page: Next, create the 'detail view' page where the individual content details will be displayed. Design this page according to your preferences.

  4. Add a unique class or ID to the content section: In the 'detail view' page, add a unique class or ID to the section that contains the content. This will help us navigate to the correct position within the page.

  5. Set up interactions and scroll to the content: Select the embed or link block in the 'grid view' page, and go to the Interactions Panel. Create a new interaction by clicking the '+' button.

  6. Select the 'Scroll to' action: In the interactions panel, choose the 'Scroll to' action from the available options.

  7. Specify the target: Select the 'detail view' page as the target, and then choose the section with the unique class or ID that corresponds to the piece of content you want to scroll to.

  8. Preview and test: Preview your site and test the 'grid view' page. Clicking on a piece of content should now scroll to the correct position in the 'detail view' page.
