How can I change the title in Webflow from "Slate Template" to a new one after updating the Dashboard?

TL;DR

Update the Page Title in Webflow Designer via the page settings gear icon.
Publish the site to apply changes.
Check and adjust the Global SEO settings in the Project Settings SEO tab if needed.
Clear browser cache or use Incognito mode to verify the title has updated.

If your Webflow project still shows “Slate Template” in the browser tab or search engines after updating the Dashboard name, it means you haven't updated the Page Title and possibly the SEO settings within the project.

1. Change the Page Title in Webflow Designer

Open your project in Webflow Designer.
In the top-left corner, click the Pages panel (paper icon).
Select the Home page (or relevant page).
Click the gear/settings icon next to the page name.
Update the Page Title field at the top (this controls what shows in the browser tab).
Optionally, update the Meta Description and Open Graph settings if you want them to reflect the new branding.

2. Publish Your Site

After making changes in the page settings, click Publish in the top-right corner of the Designer.
Select your domain/environment to complete the publish.

3. Double-Check SEO Settings in Project Settings

Go to Project Settings for your Webflow site.
Click the SEO tab.
Make sure the Global SEO Title Tag structure isn’t overriding your page-specific title.
If you see "Slate Template" in any default fields here, update or remove it.

4. Clear Cache or Use Incognito

If the title still shows as “Slate Template,” try viewing the live site in an Incognito window or clear your browser cache.
Also, check the live site’s source code (right-click → View Page Source) and search for the <title> tag to confirm it's updated.

Summary

To change the visible title from “Slate Template” to your custom title, you must update the Page Title field in the page settings inside Webflow Designer, then publish your site. The Dashboard name update alone does not affect page-level titles or SEO.
