Yes, it is possible to make a slider resume autoplay after a user interacts with it by clicking on an arrow or tapping on it in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Select your slider element by clicking on it in the Navigator panel.
  2. In the Settings tab of the right sidebar, make sure the "Autoplay" checkbox is checked.
  3. In the Interactions panel, click on the "+" button to add a new interaction.
  4. Choose the "Slider" category and select the "Slider Transformed" trigger.
  5. Set the "While" condition to "While sliding."
  6. Click on the "+" button next to the "While sliding" condition and choose the "Pause Autoplay" action.
  7. Add another "While" condition by clicking on the "+" button again and choose the "Slider arrow clicked" or "Sliding started by touch" condition.
  8. In the "Then" section, click on the "+" button and choose the "Resume Autoplay" action.
  9. Adjust the duration and easing of the interactions as desired.
  10. Click "Done" to save the interaction.

With these steps, your slider will pause autoplay when the user interacts with it by clicking on an arrow or tapping on it, and resume autoplay once the interaction is complete. This allows for a seamless user experience while still maintaining the autoplay functionality of the slider.
