Can components be duplicated in Webflow to customize them without losing the original?

Yes, components can certainly be duplicated in Webflow without losing the original. This is a great feature that allows you to create variations or customize a component without affecting the original one. Here's how you can go about it:

1. Select the component you want to duplicate: In the Webflow Designer, navigate to the specific page where the component is located. Select the component by clicking on it or selecting it from the Navigator panel.

2. Duplicate the component: Once the component is selected, you can duplicate it by either right-clicking and selecting "Duplicate" or using the shortcut Ctrl+D (Cmd+D on Mac). This will create an identical copy of the component.

3. Customize the duplicated component: After duplicating the component, you can customize it as per your requirements without affecting the original. You can change its styling, content, layout, or any other aspect that you need to modify.

4. Rename and organize: It's a good practice to rename the duplicated component to reflect its purpose or modifications. You can do this by selecting the duplicated component in the Navigator panel and updating its name. Additionally, you can organize your components by grouping them within folders in the Navigator panel for easier management.

By duplicating components and customizing their duplicates, you can maintain the integrity of the original component while still having the flexibility to make changes as needed. This approach ensures that any modifications made to the duplicated component will not impact other instances of the original component throughout your project.
