Is there a straightforward way to duplicate a Symbol in the symbols list in Webflow? I need to create a duplicate of a navbar to make changes without affecting the original one or its interactions. Unlinking the Symbol causes issues with interactions on desktop view. The duplicated navbars will be used for different screen versions. Thank you!

Yes, there is a straightforward way to duplicate a Symbol in the symbols list in Webflow. Here are the steps to do it:

1. Open your project in the Webflow Designer.
2. Go to the Symbols panel by clicking on the "Symbols" tab on the left-hand sidebar.
3. Locate the Symbol you want to duplicate in the Symbols panel.
4. Right-click on the Symbol's name or icon and select "Duplicate."
5. A new Symbol will be created with the same name as the original but with "Copy" added to it. You can rename it if you want to provide a more descriptive name.
6. You can now make changes to the duplicated Symbol without affecting the original one or its interactions.
7. To use the duplicated Symbol for different screen versions, you can customize the duplicated Symbol by modifying its elements, styling, or interactions to suit the specific screen version you want to target.

It's important to note that duplicating a Symbol will create an independent copy, so any changes made to the original Symbol will not affect the duplicated one, and vice versa. However, if you make changes to the structure or class names of the duplicated Symbol, it may cause issues with interactions that target the original Symbol. So, be cautious when modifying the duplicated Symbol's structure.

By duplicating Symbols, you can create variations of elements without having to recreate everything from scratch, saving you time and effort in designing different screen versions while maintaining consistency and efficiency across your project.
