Where can I find and adjust the Z index in Webflow?

TL;DR

The Z-index in Webflow controls the stacking order of elements on a page. A higher Z-index value brings the element to the front, while lower values push it behind other elements. Here’s how to find and adjust it:

1. Open the Webflow Designer

  • Navigate to your Webflow project and open the Designer.

2. Select the Element

  • Click on the element you want to adjust in the canvas or Navigator panel.

3. Locate the Z-Index Setting

  • In the Style panel (right sidebar), scroll to the Position section.
  • Ensure the Position property is set to anything other than Static (e.g., Relative, Absolute, or Fixed).
  • The Z-index field appears once the position is changed.

4. Adjust the Z-Index Value

  • Enter a higher number to bring the element forward.
  • Enter a lower number to push it behind other elements.
  • Use negative values (e.g., -1) if needed.

5. Preview and Test

  • Click Preview to check the changes.
  • Adjust further if necessary to achieve the desired layering effect.

Summary

To adjust Z-index in Webflow, set a non-static position for the element, then modify the Z-index value under the Style panel > Position section. The higher the value, the closer the element appears in the foreground.
