Yes, you can apply layout style changes from one main website to multiple other websites hosted under Webflow. Webflow provides a convenient feature called "Symbols" that allows you to create reusable components and apply them across different projects.

Symbols are elements or groups of elements that can be turned into reusable components. By making a symbol out of a layout style or any other element, you can ensure that any changes made to the symbol will be automatically reflected in all instances of the symbol across your websites.

To apply layout style changes from one main website to multiple other websites, follow these steps:

  1. Create a Symbol: Go to your main website project and select the layout style or element you want to make a symbol out of. Right-click on it and choose "Create Symbol." Give your symbol a name and click "Create." This will add the symbol to your main website's symbols panel.

  2. Add the Symbol to Other Projects: Open your other websites hosted under Webflow. In each project, go to the symbols panel and click the plus (+) icon to add a symbol. Choose "Add from another site" and select your main website project. Select the symbol you want to apply and click "Add." This will add the symbol to your current project's symbols panel.

  3. Apply the Symbol: With the symbol now available in your projects, you can drag and drop it onto your pages just like any other element. When you make changes to the symbol in your main website project, those changes will automatically propagate to all instances of the symbol across your other websites.

By utilizing symbols in Webflow, you can save time and effort by reusing layout styles across multiple websites without having to manually update each instance separately.
