To set the current state for navigation links that are straight URL links in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the navigation link element: In the Webflow Designer, click on the navigation link you want to modify.

  2. Open the Settings panel: On the right-hand side of the Designer, click on the "Settings" tab.

  3. Add a new link setting: Scroll down to the "Current" section and click on the "+ Add Setting" button.

  4. Set the link and state: In the "Link" field, enter the URL of the page that the link should point to when it is in the current state. Then, select the state you want the link to be in, such as "Current" or "Active."

  5. Apply the changes: Once you have set the link and state, click "Apply" to save the changes.

  6. Repeat for other navigation links: If you have multiple navigation links that need to have the current state set, repeat the above steps for each link.

  7. Preview and publish: To see how the current state appears, you can preview your site in the Designer by clicking the eye icon. When you are satisfied with the result, publish your site for the changes to take effect on the live site.

By setting the current state for navigation links, you can create a more intuitive user experience by visually indicating which page or section the visitor is currently on. This can help improve site navigation and make it easier for users to find their way around your website.
