To create an initial scroll to activate an anchor point to a second section of a page in Webflow, you can follow these steps:
1. Add an ID to the second section: Select the element that represents your second section, such as a div or a container. In the right-hand panel, go to the Settings tab and enter a unique ID for the section under the "ID" field. Remember this ID as you will need it later.
2. Create the anchor link: Now, create a link or a button that will trigger the scroll to the second section. Select the element you want to turn into a link and go to the Settings tab in the right-hand panel. Under the Link Settings section, select the "Page" option and choose the same page you're currently working on.
3. Set the destination: In the same Link Settings section, choose the "Section" option. A dropdown will appear showing the sections on your page. Select the section you want to scroll to, which is the second section you added the ID to in step 1.
4. Customize the scroll behavior: By default, Webflow will smoothly scroll to the anchor point. But if you prefer a different scroll behavior, you can customize it using CSS. You can add custom code to the
of your page or use Webflow's built-in custom code feature.For example, if you want an instant jump to the anchor point, you can add the following CSS snippet to your custom code:
```css
```
Remember to swap `auto` with `smooth` if you want to revert to the default smooth scroll behavior.
5. Test and preview: Lastly, test the scroll behavior by previewing your page. Click on the link or button you created in step 2, and it should smoothly scroll or jump to the second section based on your scroll behavior settings.
That's it! By following these steps, you'll be able to create an initial scroll that activates an anchor point to a specific section on your page in Webflow.
