To duplicate a section in Webflow and rename it without affecting the original section, you can follow these steps:

  1. Select the section you want to duplicate: Hover over the section in the Designer pane and click on it to select it.

  2. Duplicate the section: Right-click on the selected section and choose "Duplicate" from the menu. Alternatively, you can use the shortcut Ctrl + D (Windows) or Command + D (Mac) to duplicate the section.

  3. Rename the duplicated section: After duplicating the section, it will be placed right below the original section. Double-click on the duplicated section's name in the Navigator pane and enter the desired name for the section. This will rename the duplicated section without affecting the original section.

It's important to note that the duplicated section will inherit all the element styles and interactions from the original section. Any changes made to the duplicated section will not affect the original section, allowing you to modify it independently.

It's also worth mentioning that duplicating and renaming a section can be helpful when you want to create variations of the same layout or when you want to create different versions of a section for A/B testing.

By following these steps, you can easily duplicate a section in Webflow and rename it without affecting the original section.
