Question

My navigation bar doesn’t stick at top

I am stuck. My navigation bar doesn’t stick at top though I’ve set it to sticky at top and canvas stacking is set to first on top. Not sure what else I can do.

Also Fixed (stay in place) is disabled.

Any help? Much appreciated.

    Hi ​@Lavina 

    “Fixed (stay in place)” option is disabled when the parent is an auto layout

    I also understand that the navigation bar doesn’t stick, but does it scroll? Would you be able to share any relevant material for us to help you?

    Things to look at when dealing with scrolling content (and thus sticky elements) :

    • The height of the container is lower than the total height of content, you will see a (!) icon in front of the overflow options (as shown below)
    • The top of the scrolling container is not out of its parents, nor hidden by another element
