Webflow Components
Components (formerly called Symbols) allow you to create reusable blocks across multiple pages of a Webflow site.
They ensure visual consistency and make global updates easier.
How it works
Section titled “How it works”- Select a group of elements (header, footer, button, etc.).
- Click Convert to Component.
- The Component becomes available in the dedicated panel.
- Any change to the Component is automatically applied everywhere it is used.
Benefits
Section titled “Benefits”- Consistency: one design reused across multiple pages.
- Time-saving: centralized updates.
- Customization: ability to create variants of the same Component.
Example use cases
Section titled “Example use cases”- Navigation (header, burger menu, footer).
- Content cards (product card, testimonial).
- Recurring buttons and CTAs.
- Standardized form blocks.
Tip
Use Components for anything that needs to remain identical across multiple pages (navigation, footer, key sections).
