           To set the overflow to hidden in Webflow while keeping the content-container outside the parent container, you can follow these steps:
- Create a parent container: Start by creating a parent container element where you want to contain your content.
 - Add an inner div: Inside the parent container, add a div element that will act as the content-container.
 - Apply positioning: Give the parent container element a positioning property of relative. This will serve as the reference point for any absolutely positioned children.
 - Adjust dimensions: Set the width and height of the parent container to the desired dimensions.
 - Modify overflow property: Set the overflow property of the parent container to hidden. This will hide any content that extends beyond the set dimensions.
 - Position the content-container: Position the inner div (content-container) absolutely within the parent container. You can then use the positioning properties (top, right, bottom, or left) to position it outside the parent container as desired.
 - Adjust margins: If needed, adjust the margin of the content-container to position it precisely outside the parent container.
 
Example CSS code:.parent-container {  position: relative;  width: 500px;  height: 500px;  overflow: hidden;}.content-container {  position: absolute;  top: -50px;  left: -50px;  width: 600px;  height: 600px;  background-color: #f0f0f0;}
           By following these steps, you can set the overflow to hidden in Webflow while placing the content-container outside the parent container.
