Can the number of columns in a grid be edited in Webflow, or is it only possible to hide/show the grid?
TL;DR
- Select the Grid container, go to the Style panel, and open the Grid editor.
- Add or remove columns using the "+" or "-" buttons and adjust column sizes with fixed, fractional, or auto values.
- Modify grid settings for different breakpoints to ensure responsiveness.
- Use "display: none" on specific grid items if you prefer to hide elements instead of changing column structure.
Yes, you can edit the number of columns in a Grid in Webflow, not just hide or show it. Here’s how:
1. Edit Grid Columns
- Select the Grid container in the Navigator or directly on the canvas.
- Go to the Style panel, then find the Grid section.
- Click Edit Grid, which opens the Grid editor.
- Add or remove columns by clicking the "+" or "-" buttons on the column track controls.
- Adjust column size using fixed (px), fractional (fr), or auto values.
2. Use Responsive Adjustments
- Switch to Tablet, Mobile Landscape, or Mobile Portrait to customize the grid for different breakpoints.
- In each view, you can redefine column numbers and sizes without affecting desktop layouts.
3. Hide or Show Elements Instead (If Needed)
- If you want to dynamically hide certain items instead of modifying column count, use display: none on specific grid items.
Summary
Webflow allows you to add, remove, and modify grid columns using the Grid editor, and you can adjust them per breakpoint for responsiveness. You are not limited to just hiding or showing grid elements.
