Can I copy and paste content from one template to my own Webflow project without using side-by-side browsers?

TL;DR
  • Copy elements in the source Webflow project (Cmd + C/Ctrl + C).
  • Open the destination project in another tab and paste (Cmd + V/Ctrl + V).
  • Resolve style conflicts by reviewing and renaming duplicate classes.
  • Check for missing assets and upload them manually if needed.

Yes, you can copy and paste content from one Webflow project to another without using side-by-side browsers by using Webflow's built-in Cross-site Copy and Paste feature. Here’s how:

1. Copy the Elements

  • Open the source Webflow project and locate the elements you want to copy.
  • Select the elements (such as Sections, Divs, or Components) in the Designer.
  • Press Cmd + C (Mac) or Ctrl + C (Windows) to copy.

2. Paste into the Destination Project

  • Open the destination Webflow project in another tab (within the same browser).
  • Navigate to the section where you want to paste the content.
  • Press Cmd + V (Mac) or Ctrl + V (Windows) to paste the copied elements.

3. Resolve Style Conflicts

  • Webflow will paste the elements along with their associated styles and classes.
  • If the same class names exist in both projects, Webflow may create duplicate styles with adjusted names (e.g., .button may become .button-2).
  • Review and rename styles if needed to maintain consistency in your design system.

4. Check for Missing Assets

  • Images, fonts, and interactions should transfer automatically, but it's best to verify in the Assets Panel.
  • If some assets didn’t transfer, manually upload them to your destination project.

Summary

You can easily copy and paste elements between Webflow projects using the built-in Cross-site Copy and Paste feature. Just copy elements in one project, switch to another tab, and paste them. Be sure to check for style duplicates and missing assets after pasting.
