Why "On Appear" animations don't show and how to fix it

If a box with the "On Appear" conditional style isn't displaying, it's likely because the box is completely outside its parent box or the screen. This often happens at mobile widths during responsive setup.

Why "On Appear" animations don't work

There are two main reasons why a box with the "On Appear" conditional style doesn't display and its animation doesn't play:

  • The box with the animation is completely outside the screen

  • The box with the animation is completely outside its parent box
    *However, even if the box doesn't overlap with its parent box, the animation will still work if the parent box's overflow setting is set to [Visible].

As long as the box overlaps even slightly with either the screen or the parent box, the animation will work and the box will be displayed.

Note: About appear animations with responsive design

When you resize elements for different breakpoints, the animation's starting position may end up outside the screen on narrower devices like smartphones. If a box isn't showing up in preview, check whether the box extends beyond the screen in the editor. As long as even a small part of the box is visible on screen, the animation will work correctly.
