Can animation settings be easily copied and pasted onto a new picture or div block in Webflow or do they need to be redone each time?

You can easily reuse animation settings in Webflow by using interactions and combo classes, avoiding the need to redo animations each time.

1. Use Interactions and Select an Element Trigger

• Go to the Interactions panel (lightning icon) in the right sidebar.
• Choose an existing element that has the animation you want to copy.
• Click the interaction name, then right-click and choose "Duplicate" or use the same interaction for a new element.

2. Apply the Same Interaction to a New Element

• Select the new picture or div block.
• In the Interactions panel, under “Element trigger” or “Page trigger,” click + to create a new interaction.
• Choose "Use existing animation" and select the one previously created.
• This links the same animation settings without needing to rebuild them.

3. Copy Animation Styles Using Classes (Optional)

• If animations are trigger-based on class selectors, applying the same class to another element will inherit the animation.
• You can also create a combo class if you want to tweak styles without affecting other elements using the same base class.

4. Duplicate Elements to Retain Animations

• Alternatively, duplicate an animated element (right-click > Duplicate).
• The new element will retain the same animation and styles, which you can then customize further.

Summary

You don’t need to redo animations each time. Use existing interactions, duplicate them, or apply the same classes or combo classes to new elements to efficiently copy animation behavior in Webflow.
