Yes, there is a way to hide elements in Webflow's design view without changing their display to none. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Select the element you want to hide in the design view.
- In the right sidebar, go to the Styles tab.
- Under the Display dropdown, select "Invisible".
- This will hide the element in the design view, but it will still occupy space in the layout.
- Additionally, the element will be visible in the preview and published versions of the site.
- If you want to hide the element in the preview and published versions as well, you can use interactions or conditional visibility settings.
- Interactions: You can add an interaction to the element, such as a click trigger, and set its initial appearance as hidden. This will control the visibility based on user interaction.
- Conditional visibility: You can set conditions for the element to be visible or hidden based on certain properties, such as screen size, scroll position, or page URL. This can be done using the "Show/Hide" feature in the element settings panel.
By using these methods, you can hide elements in the design view or in the preview and published versions of your Webflow site without removing them entirely from the layout or changing their display property to none, providing more flexibility in your design process.
