Here's how to add an overline to text in Webflow

  1. Open Your Webflow Project

    Ensure you have your Webflow project open in the designer view where you can edit elements. This is the starting point for making any style changes.

  2. Select the Text Element

    Click directly on the text element on your page to select it. A blue outline will appear around the element, indicating it is selected and ready for styling.

  3. Access the Style Panel

    In the right-hand sidebar, locate and click on the 'Style' tab. This panel contains all the visual styling options for your selected element.

  4. Expand Typography Settings

    Within the Style panel, scroll down until you find the 'Typography' section. Click its header to expand the various text styling options.

  5. Apply the Overline Style

    Under the 'Decor' options within the expanded Typography settings, click the 'Overline' button. This will instantly add an overline to your selected text.

  6. Verify the Overline

    Observe your text element on the canvas. It should now display a line above it, confirming that the overline style has been successfully applied.
