Apply content overrides for symbol instances

Now you can change images, text, videos, and links in a single instance of a symbol — making it easier to create and maintain recurring layouts.

Apply content overrides for symbol instances

Webflow’s symbols are great when you have a recurring layout whose content is exactly the same across each instance — for example, a nav bar, a footer, or a sign up form — but what if you have a recurring layout that has unique content in each instance?

Create override fields for elements you’d like to override in a symbol instance.

With today’s release, now you’re in luck. Because now you can change images, text, videos, and links in a single instance of a symbol without affecting others — making it easier to create and maintain recurring layouts across your site that have unique content.

In this example, each of these testimonial cards will be a unique instance of the master “card” symbol, each with unique content overrides.

For a full breakdown of this release, check out our blog post, or read the full documentation on Webflow University.
