Yes, it is possible to add text into a lightbox when an image is selected and in preview position in Webflow. Here is how you can achieve this:

  1. Add a Lightbox component: Drag and drop a Lightbox component from the Add Panel onto your canvas.

  2. Insert an Image: Within the Lightbox component, click on the "+" button to add an image. Select the image you want to display in the Lightbox from your Webflow project or upload a new one.

  3. Add a Text Block: After adding the image, click on the "+" button again and choose "Text" from the dropdown menu. This will add a text block to your Lightbox.
