To globally change the color of all links in Webflow without abandoning the CMS collection, you can follow these steps:

Open your Webflow project and go to the Designer.
Select the element containing the link(s) that you want to change the color for. This could be a text element or a link block element.
In the Styles panel on the right-hand side, locate the color property under the Typography section.
Click on the color swatch and choose a new color for your links. You can either pick a color from the palette or enter a specific color value.
Once you've selected the new color, it will be applied to all the links within the selected element.
To apply this color change to all links across your site, you need to create a class for the link element. To do this, click on the "+" button next to the Selector field in the Styles panel.
Enter a class name for the link, such as ".global-link-color".
Next, ensure that the class is applied to all links throughout the CMS collection. To achieve this, go to the Collection template or Collection item page where your CMS content is displayed.
Select the link element(s) within the CMS collection and apply the previously created class name ("global-link-color") to them.
Now, all links within your CMS collection will have the updated color you specified. This change will be applied consistently across all pages using the CMS collection, ensuring proper branding and design consistency.

By following these steps, you can easily update the color of all links in Webflow without abandoning the CMS collection. This enables you to maintain a centralized system for managing your content while still allowing for global design changes.
