How can I add a site-wide banner above the fixed top navigation in Webflow without manually adding it to each page?

To add a site-wide banner above the fixed top navigation in Webflow without manually adding it to each page, you can use the Webflow's Symbols feature. Symbols allow you to create reusable elements that can be placed on multiple pages and updated in one central location.

Here's how you can set it up:

1. Create a new section at the top of your website layout, above the fixed navigation. This section will serve as the site-wide banner. You can design this section with whatever content and styling you desire.

2. Select the section, and in the right-hand sidebar, click on the "Add to Symbols" button. Give your symbol a name, such as "Site Banner", and click "Create".

3. Now that you have created the symbol, it will appear in the Symbols panel on the left-hand sidebar. Drag the symbol onto each page where you want the site-wide banner to appear. By default, any changes made to the symbol will be reflected across all instances.

4. To customize the content of the site-wide banner on individual pages, double-click on the symbol instance on that page. This will enter symbol edit mode, allowing you to modify its content specifically for that page while maintaining the styling and structure from the symbol.

5. If you need to make changes to the design or content of the site-wide banner, simply update the symbol in the Symbols panel. These changes will be applied to all instances of the symbol throughout your project.

Using symbols in this way can save you time and effort in adding and managing site-wide elements like banners. It ensures consistency across your website and makes it easier to make updates or changes in the future.
