How can I unlink a nav bar from a symbol in Webflow so that I can edit it independently on subsequent pages?

If your navbar is inside a Symbol in Webflow, you’ll need to unlink it so that changes don’t affect all instances. Follow these steps:

1. Unlink the Navbar Symbol

• Select the Navbar in the Webflow Designer.
• If it's inside a Symbol, look for the green icon next to its name in the Navigator.
• Right-click on the Symbol and choose Unlink Instance.

2. Edit the Navbar Independently

• Once unlinked, the navbar becomes a standard non-symbol element.
• You can now edit it on a single page without affecting others.

3. Create a New Symbol (Optional)

• If you want to keep different versions of your navbar, you can:
• Modify the unlinked navbar.
• Re-save it as a new Symbol (Right-click > Create Symbol).
• Use it selectively on pages where variations are needed.

Summary

To unlink a navbar from a Symbol, right-click and choose Unlink Instance. You can now edit it separately from other pages. If needed, create new Symbols for different versions.
