Yes, it is possible to create a fixed navigation bar that hides when the user scrolls down and reappears when scrolling up in Webflow without using custom code. Webflow has a built-in feature called "Scroll into View" that you can use to achieve this effect. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Start by adding a navbar element to your page. You can find the navbar element in the "Components" panel.

  2. Customize the design of your navbar to match your preferences.

  3. With the navbar selected, go to the "Element Settings" panel on the right-hand side.

  4. Scroll down to the "Interactions" section and click on the "+ Add New Interaction" button.

  5. In the interaction panel, set the trigger to "Scroll into View".

  6. Now, you'll need to create two actions: one for when the navbar is scrolling into view and one for when it's scrolling out of view.

  • For the first action (scrolling into view), click on the "+ Add Action" button and select "Display" > "None" to hide the navbar when it scrolls into view.

  • For the second action (scrolling out of view), click on the "+ Add Action" button and select "Display" > "Block" to make the navbar reappear when scrolling out of view.

  1. Adjust the offset options to fine-tune when exactly the navbar should hide and reappear. The offset determines how much of the navbar must be in view before the chosen action takes place.

  2. Finally, make sure to set the initial state of the navbar to "Display: Block" so that it is visible when the page loads.

By following these steps, you can create a fixed navigation bar that hides when the user scrolls down and reappears when scrolling up without the need for custom code.
