How can I edit text that is hidden by other sections in Webflow? I'm new to Webflow and struggling to find a solution in the editor. Thank you for your help!

If you have text that is hidden by other sections in Webflow, there are a few different approaches you can take to edit that text.

1. Change the positioning or z-index: One way to bring the hidden text to the forefront is by adjusting its positioning or z-index. Select the element that contains the hidden text and try changing its position from relative to absolute or vice versa. You can also experiment with adjusting the z-index value, which determines the stacking order of elements on the page. Increasing the z-index value of the hidden text element may bring it above the other sections.

2. Use the Navigator panel: The Navigator panel in the Webflow Designer allows you to view and select different elements on the page, even if they are hidden or positioned behind other sections. Locate the hidden text element in the Navigator panel and select it. Once selected, you can make edits to the text using the Style panel on the right-hand side of the Designer.

3. Temporarily move or hide overlapping elements: If the hidden text is obscured by overlapping sections or elements, you can try temporarily moving or hiding those elements to gain access to the hidden text. Simply select the element that is blocking the text and adjust its position or visibility. Once you've made your edits to the hidden text, you can restore the original position or visibility of the overlapping element.

4. Use the Edit Mode: In some cases, the hidden text may be accessible in the Edit Mode of your Webflow project. Click the "Edit" button on the top bar of the Designer to enter Edit Mode. This mode allows you to directly edit the content on your site, providing an alternative way to access and modify the hidden text without interacting with the visual representation of the page.

Remember to preview and test your changes across different device sizes to ensure the visibility of the hidden text doesn't negatively impact the overall layout or user experience of your website.
