Can I do a "factory reset" on a template installed on a Webflow site or would I need to start a new project? If I delete the old site, can I use the same template on another website easily?

You cannot perform a "factory reset" on a specific template installed on a Webflow site. However, you do have the option to start a new project and use the same template in that new project. Here's how you can achieve this:
- Starting a new project:
- On your Webflow dashboard, click on the "Create new project" button.
- Choose the "Template" option.
- Browse through the available templates or search for the template you want to use.
- Once you've found the template you want, click on the "Clone project" button.
- Give your new project a name and click on "Clone project" again.
- Deleting the old site:
- If you want to delete the old site associated with the template, go to your dashboard and click on the project you want to delete.
- In the project settings, scroll to the bottom and click on the "Delete project" button.
- Confirm the deletion.
- Using the same template on another website:
- Once the old site has been deleted, you can now use the same template on another website easily.
- On your Webflow dashboard, go to the "Templates" tab.
- Locate the template you want to use and click on the "Clone project" button.
- Give your new project a name and click on "Clone project" once again.
Please note that using the same template for multiple projects will create separate instances of that template. Any changes made to one instance of the template will not affect the other instances.
