Unify your visual identity across all your sites
Webflow Shared Libraries empower design teams to share components, variables, and assets across multiple sites — so your organization can deliver consistent experiences and manage changes at scale.
For teams managing multiple sites
Design leaders
Preserve your brand’s visual identity across all web experiences by unifying and sharing your design system within Webflow.
Designers
Eliminate tedious, repetitive tasks — like recreating components or uploading assets for each site — so you have time for true creative work.
Marketers
Ship content faster while staying on-brand with design-approved building blocks.
Give your whole team the right building blocks
Create a shareable source of truth for your reusable components, variables, and assets.
Shared variables
Keep styles on brand with shared variables for color, font, spacing, and more. Plus facilitate easy theme updates and scale multi-brand design systems with variable modes.
Shared components
Share pre-built components like navbars, sections, buttons, and cards for a consistent look and feel — while also leveraging props, slots, and variants for customization within guardrails.
Shared assets
Provide a centralized repository for recurring, brand-approved assets — like logos, icons, hero images, and more — that your team can easily apply to multiple sites.
Streamline change management
Whether you’re making small tweaks or executing a major rebrand, Shared Libraries provide governance and scalable change management workflows.
Review updates before they go live
Each designer can review and accept updates to Shared Libraries when they're ready, rather than rushing to implement changes all at once — ensuring a smooth and stable deployment.
Seamlessly update designs across multiple sites
Update your Shared Library just once — after the changes are accepted, Webflow will cascade them across all your sites.
Centrally manage your Libraries
Manage all Library installations and updates at scale from a single dashboard view.
Safeguard your
Shared Library
Leverage roles and permissions to control who can share, install, and manage Libraries.
“As a Webflow Agency, having our own Shared Library of standard components has reduced dev time and allowed us to ship new projects 15% faster. It has also made us look like superstars to our clients, as we’re able to minimize errors and inconsistencies, while delivering high quality work in a super efficient manner.”
“With WordPress, we had to rely on third-party services, constantly update plugins, and carefully manage security risks. Webflow transformed our operations: We now have peace of mind and can focus on reaching more customers.”
Pricing
Shared Libraries are available for Webflow customers on all paid Workspace plans.

Frequently asked questions
Webflow's design system tools create a shared language between designers, developers, and marketers — not only can you create robust atomic design systems in Webflow, but you can maintain consistency with design systems in Figma and React code repos. Designers can build and maintain the core Library, while marketers use pre-approved components and templates to create new pages independently — staying on-brand without constant design oversight. Component properties, slots, and variants provide customization options within guardrails, so team members can adapt designs for their specific needs without breaking the system.
Variable modes enable sophisticated theming capabilities, allowing teams to maintain multiple brand variations or create responsive designs that adapt to different contexts automatically.
This collaborative approach reduces back-and-forth between teams, eliminates design drift, and empowers everyone to contribute to your web presence while maintaining professional standards.
Webflow Shared Libraries provide governance features that ensure brand consistency, even as your team and site portfolio grow. Each designer can review and accept Library updates on their own timeline, preventing rushed implementations that could break existing designs.
The centralized dashboard enables management of all Library installations and updates from one place, giving you visibility into which sites are using which versions of your design system.
Role-based permissions let you control who can share, install, and manage Libraries, ensuring only authorized team members can make system-wide changes. This controlled workflow means you can execute everything from small style tweaks to complete rebrands with confidence.
Update your Shared Library once, and Webflow cascades approved changes across all your sites automatically.
A comprehensive design system in Webflow includes five key elements:
- Variables (colors, fonts, and spacing)
- Style selectors (classes and tags)
- Components (reusable UI elements)
- Page templates
- Shared Libraries
Variables store your brand values, like color tokens and typography scales, allowing you to update them once and see the changes reflected everywhere.
Components turn frequently used elements into reusable building blocks with customizable properties.
Page templates combine these elements into ready-made layouts that empower non-designers to create on-brand pages without starting from scratch.
By organizing these elements with clear naming conventions, you create a design system that scales with your team and maintains consistency across all your digital properties.
Webflow Shared Libraries provide a centralized repository of components, variables, and assets you’ve created that can be shared across all sites in your Workspace. You can build reusable elements like navigation bars, buttons, and hero sections once, then install them on any site where you need them — eliminating the tedious work of recreating the same elements for each project.
To get started, create a dedicated design system site that serves as your single source of truth, then share specific components, variables, or assets from that Library to other sites in your Workspace. When you update an element in your Shared Library, you can cascade those changes across all connected sites, ensuring brand consistency while saving hours of manual updates. Each site can then use these shared elements while maintaining the flexibility to customize them through props, slots, and variants within your established design guardrails.
