To make the button and text box in your Webflow animation go back to their initial state after hovering, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the button or text box element that you want to animate.

  2. Go to the "Interactions" panel, which can be found in the right-hand sidebar.

  3. Click on the "+" button to create a new interaction.

  4. Choose the trigger for your animation. In this case, you'll want to select the "Hover" trigger.

  5. Set the initial state of the element by adjusting its style properties. For example, you can change the background color, font size, or position.

  6. Add an animation to the element by clicking on the "Add Action" button. You can choose from various animation types, such as fade, slide, or rotate.

  7. Customize the animation by adjusting the duration, easing, and any other relevant settings.

  8. To restore the element to its initial state after hovering, you'll need to create a separate animation for the "Hover Out" state.

  9. Click on the "Add State" button next to the interaction to create a new state.

  10. Set the initial style properties of the element again to match its original state before the hover.

  11. Create an animation for the "Hover Out" state, following the same steps as before.

  12. Customize the animation to reverse the effect of the hover animation. For example, if the element faded in during the hover animation, you'll want to fade it out during the "Hover Out" animation.

  13. Preview the animation by clicking on the eye icon in the "Interactions" panel or by going into Preview mode.

By following these steps, you can ensure that the button and text box in your Webflow animation return to their initial state after hovering, creating a smooth and seamless user experience.
