Yes, there are tutorials and walk-throughs available on how to replace the default upside-down V with a plus sign to expand the drop-down and a minus sign to close the drop-down in Webflow. Here's how you can achieve this:

  1. Select the dropdown element: To start, select the dropdown element on your Webflow canvas.

  2. Access the Settings panel: With the dropdown element selected, access the Settings panel on the right-hand side of the Designer interface.

  3. Customize the dropdown trigger: In the Settings panel, you'll find the "Open Trigger" dropdown menu. By default, it will be set to the default upside-down V trigger.
