Is it possible to duplicate a scroll interaction on a navbar/logo from one page to another in Webflow?
TL;DR
- Convert shared elements (like navbars) into Symbols to automatically reuse their interactions across pages.
- If not using Symbols, copy the element and its interactions manually, ensuring class names match.
- Recreate page-specific triggers (like scroll events) manually on each page and reassign existing timed animations as needed.
Yes, you can duplicate a scroll interaction (like a hide/reveal navigation or logo animation) from one page to another in Webflow. However, it requires a few steps to ensure all elements and interactions are properly reused or linked.
1. Use Symbols for Shared Sections
- Convert your navbar into a Symbol in the Designer if you plan to reuse it across multiple pages.
- Symbols automatically carry over all animations and interactions assigned to their elements.
- Go to the desired page and drag the Symbol into place from the Symbols panel.
2. Reuse Interactions Manually (If Not in a Symbol)
If your navbar/logo isn't a Symbol, you need to copy both the elements and associated interactions:
- Select the navbar element, then copy (Cmd/Ctrl + C) it.
- Go to the target page and paste (Cmd/Ctrl + V) the navbar onto the canvas.
- Webflow copies both the elements and their interaction triggers and animation timelines.
- Ensure all involved Class names match; Webflow relies on these for animations to function correctly.
3. Check Page Load and Scroll Triggers
- Webflow interactions like Scroll into View or While page is scrolling are specific to each page.
- If the interaction is tied to Page Trigger (like While Page is Scrolling), it needs to be manually recreated on the new page:
- Go to Interactions panel > Page Trigger > While Page is Scrolling
- Manually recreate the trigger and reassign animations used on the other page.
- Use existing animation timelines where possible (they appear under “Timed Animations”).
4. Reuse Timed Animations Across Pages
- In the Interactions panel, under Timed Animations, previously created animations are stored.
- When setting up a new scroll trigger, you can reuse these saved animations.
- Just make sure the same element Classes exist on the new page, or animations won't target anything.
Summary
To replicate a scroll interaction from one page to another in Webflow, use Symbols for elements like navbars, copy interactions manually if needed, and reassign page triggers separately per page. This ensures consistency and full functionality across multiple pages.
