How can I put text within a text block in Webflow without accidentally clicking on background elements like sections or divs?

In Webflow, when you have a text block and you want to avoid accidentally clicking on other elements like sections or divs, there are a few techniques you can use to prevent this.

1. Using the "Bring to front" feature: By default, elements in Webflow have a stacking order, where elements higher in the Navigator panel are stacked above elements lower in the panel. You can adjust the stacking order of elements by selecting the text block and using the "Bring to front" option in the context menu or the keyboard shortcut CMD+SHIFT+].

2. Adjusting the Z-index: Another approach to ensure that the text block is at the front is by adjusting the Z-index property. The Z-index determines the stacking order of elements in the z-axis. A higher Z-index value means the element will be on top of elements with a lower Z-index value. You can set a higher Z-index for the text block relative to other elements around it. To do this, select the text block, go to the Element tab in the right sidebar, and input a higher value for the Z-index property.

3. Placing the text block in a higher position in the Navigator: The order of elements in the Navigator panel affects their stacking order on the page. By moving the text block higher in the Navigator panel, it will be displayed above elements lower in the panel. You can rearrange elements in the Navigator by simply dragging and dropping them to the desired position.

4. Adjusting the size of the text block: Sometimes, elements like sections or divs may overlap with the text block, making it difficult to click. In such cases, you can try adjusting the size of the text block to ensure it does not overlap with other elements. You can either decrease the size of the text block or adjust its margins and padding to create more space around the text.

By combining these techniques, you can effectively put text within a text block in Webflow without accidentally clicking on background elements. Experiment with these options to achieve the desired results while maintaining the visual hierarchy and user experience of your design.
