Our Next Page - Testing
This page contains all the repeating elements,
but no permanent content at this time … it’ll
eventually become the next actual page.

In Website Head OR Back symbol Placeholder Head, add CSS:
(note Placeholder is a HIDDEN back symbol, upper left corner)
Code:
<style>
.animated:has(.back) {
animation-delay: 5s;
animation-direction: reverse;
}
</style>
You can change the animation delay time as you choose; 5s is 5 seconds
Create your Xara animation(s) - leave Delay (sec) control as zero; if you add in any, it delays the appearance of the object
For all to-be reversed animations, add a ClassName as Names > htmlclass="back"
My design file uses a Back symbol where the CSS is in the Placeholder Head. It does the same job but makes the solution more
transportable.
The symbol can be placed on the Pasteboard or elsewhere.
CSS-Reverse Animations.xar
So, in practice:
Copy the Back symbol onto your design
Add htmlclass="back" to any animations to be reversed
