Yes, it is possible to create a rotating sentence where one part continually changes in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this effect:

  1. Create a Collection: First, you'll need to create a Collection to store the different parts of the rotating sentence. Each part will be a separate item in the Collection.

  2. Design the Rotating Sentence: Design the section of your website where the rotating sentence will be displayed. Use a Text element to indicate where the changing part of the sentence will be placed.

  3. Connect the Collection: In the Collection settings, connect the Collection to the relevant page or template where you want the rotating sentence to appear. Make sure to include a reference field for the sentence part that will be changing.

  4. Add the Dynamic Text: Drag a Text element into the design section where the changing sentence part will be displayed. Double-click to enter the text editor and then click the "+" icon on the right side of the editor toolbar.

  5. Choose the Collection Field: In the dynamic content panel that appears, select the Collection you created earlier and choose the field that contains the sentence part you want to display. This will populate the text element with the content from the Collection.

  6. Create an Animation: To create the rotating effect, select the Text element and go to the Interactions panel. Add a new interaction and set it to trigger on load or any other desired event.

  7. Use the Change Content Action: In the interaction settings, choose the Change Content action. Enter the second sentence part from your Collection in the "New Content" field. You can add multiple steps to the interaction if you want the sentence to rotate through more than two parts.

  8. Set the Duration: Adjust the duration of the interaction to determine how long each sentence part should be displayed before transitioning to the next.

  9. Preview and Publish: Preview your website to see the rotating sentence in action. If it looks good, publish your site to make the changes live.

By following these steps, you can create a rotating sentence where one part continually changes in Webflow. This can add a dynamic and interactive element to your website, making it more engaging for visitors.
