To type new text and replace existing text in Webflow, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the element: Identify the element in the Webflow Designer that contains the text you want to replace. You can do this by clicking on the element directly in the Designer or selecting it from the Navigator panel.

  2. Access the text editor: Once the element is selected, you can access the text editor by double-clicking on the text or by selecting the "Edit Text" option from the context menu that appears when you right-click on the element.

  3. Delete existing text: If there is existing text in the element, you can remove it by either highlighting and pressing the delete/backspace key or selecting the entire text and pressing the delete/backspace key.

  4. Type new text: With the existing text removed, you can now type your new text directly into the text editor. As you type, you will see the changes being reflected in real-time on the selected element in the Designer.

  5. Format the text: Webflow provides various formatting options to style your text. You can change the font, size, color, alignment, and more using the text formatting toolbar that appears above the text editor. Simply select the desired text and apply the formatting options as needed.

  6. Save and publish: After you've finished making changes to the text, be sure to save your work. You can do this by clicking the "Save" button in the top right corner of the Designer. Once you're ready to make your changes live, publish your Webflow project to see the updated text on your website.
