When the fixed anchor scroll menu on your case studies pages stops before reaching the "Conclusion" section when clicked on, it is likely due to a misconfiguration or issue with the anchor link.

Here are some possible reasons why this might be happening and how to fix it:

Incorrect or missing ID: In order for the anchor link to navigate to the correct section on the page, the target section needs to have a corresponding ID attribute. Double-check that the "Conclusion" section has the correct ID assigned to it. To add an ID in Webflow, select the section, go to the Settings panel on the right-hand side, and enter the desired ID in the ID field.
Incorrect anchor link: Verify that the anchor link in the fixed menu is pointing to the correct ID of the "Conclusion" section. Make sure the href attribute of the menu item matches the ID of the target section. For example, if the ID of the "Conclusion" section is "conclusion", the anchor link should be Conclusion.
Overlapping elements: If there are overlapping elements, such as a section with a higher z-index, it could prevent the anchor link from scrolling to the "Conclusion" section. Check for any overlapping elements within the page and adjust their positioning or z-index values to ensure they don't interfere with the scroll behavior.
Custom code conflicts: If you have added custom code to your site, there might be conflicts causing the anchor scroll issue. Temporarily remove any custom code related to scrolling or navigation and test if the problem persists. If the issue is resolved, review the custom code and make any necessary modifications to prevent conflicts.
JavaScript errors: Check the browser console for any JavaScript errors that might be causing the anchor scroll to fail. Fixing any JavaScript errors can help resolve the scrolling issue.
Webflow page structure: Ensure that the "Conclusion" section is placed properly within the page structure and is not contained within any other elements that might interfere with the anchor scrolling functionality.

By addressing these potential issues, you should be able to fix the problem and allow the fixed anchor scroll menu to navigate to the "Conclusion" section correctly.
