Yes, it is possible to stack the contents of each grid square on mobile when using the grid element in Webflow. By default, the grid element in Webflow uses the "auto flow" property, which means that items will automatically flow into multiple rows when the screen size is too small to accommodate them in a single row. However, if you want more control over how the items stack, you can use Webflow's built-in grid breakpoints feature. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Select the grid element on your canvas.
  2. In the style panel, click on the "Grid" tab.
  3. Scroll down to the "Breakpoints" section.
  4. Click on the "+ Add" button to add a breakpoint.
  5. Set the breakpoint to the screen size where you want the items to stack. For example, if you want them to stack on mobile devices, set the breakpoint to 320px to 767px.
  6. Customize the layout of the grid items for this specific breakpoint. You can change the number of columns or adjust the width and height of the items.
  7. Repeat steps 4-6 to add additional breakpoints for different screen sizes if needed.

By adding breakpoints and customizing the layout for each breakpoint, you can create a responsive grid that stacks the contents of each grid square on mobile devices, allowing for a better viewing experience on smaller screens.

Additionally, you can also use the built-in flexbox capabilities in Webflow to achieve a similar effect. By setting the flex-direction property to "column" on mobile devices, the items will stack vertically within the grid squares.
