If you've set a custom grid area name in Webflow’s Grid Layout and want to remove it, follow these steps to clear or reset it.
1. Open Grid Layout Settings
- Select the element that uses the Grid layout.
- Go to the Style panel on the right.
- Scroll to the Layout section and click the grid icon to open the visual Grid Editor.
2. Select the Grid Cell
- Hover over the grid and click the cell(s) that has a custom area name.
- A label will appear showing the current area name.
3. Remove or Reset the Area
- In the popup input that appears (when you select the cell), delete the name from the text field to remove the custom area name.
- Press Enter or click outside the field to confirm.
4. Save the Changes
- After clearing the area name, the grid will return that cell to an unnamed/default state.
- Click Done or anywhere outside the grid editor to exit.
5. Reassign Elements (if needed)
- If the removed area name was referenced by a child element, you may need to update or reassign that element to a different grid area or use the manual row/column position settings.
Summary
To remove a pre-set Grid Area name in Webflow, open the Grid Editor, click on the named cell, delete the custom name from the input, and exit the grid editor. This resets the cell to its default unnamed state.
