How can I remove auto-generated columns in Webflow's tablet view to make a navigation bar with only 4 columns and 2 rows?

TL;DR
  • Switch to Tablet View and select the affected navigation bar.
  • Adjust the Grid Layout in the Style Panel by setting it to 4 columns and 2 rows.
  • Reposition elements as needed to avoid gaps.
  • Check other breakpoints and make further adjustments for consistency.

Webflow automatically adjusts grid layouts in different breakpoints, sometimes adding extra columns in tablet view. To manually control the grid, follow these steps:

1. Switch to Tablet View

  • Click the Tablet icon in the Webflow Designer.
  • Your navigation bar may have more columns than intended due to Webflow's auto-adjustments.

2. Adjust the Grid Layout

  • Select the navigation bar that contains the unwanted columns.
  • Go to the Style Panel (right sidebar).
  • Find the Grid section.

3. Manually Define Grid Columns and Rows

  • Set the columns count to 4 and rows count to 2 under the Grid Layout settings.
  • Adjust column and row sizes as needed (e.g., using FR units or fixed pixel values).

4. Ensure Correct Element Placement

  • Check how items are positioned within the grid.
  • Drag and reposition items if necessary to avoid empty gaps.

5. Review Other Breakpoints

  • Switch to Mobile landscape and portrait views to ensure the layout remains correct.
  • Make further adjustments if needed.

Summary

Webflow may auto-adjust grid columns in tablet view, but you can override this by manually setting a 4-column, 2-row grid in the Style Panel. Ensure elements are positioned correctly and check other breakpoints for consistency.
