To prevent changes made to one project in Webflow from affecting other projects, you can follow these steps:

  1. Separate projects: Create separate projects for each individual website or project in Webflow. Each project should have its own unique domain and hosting settings.

  2. Use unique site settings: Customize the site settings for each project. This includes updating the site name, favicon, SEO settings, and other project-specific configurations. By using unique site settings for each project, you ensure that changes made to one project do not apply to others.

  3. Isolate CMS collections: If you are using Webflow's CMS to manage content across multiple projects, make sure to create separate CMS collections for each project. This ensures that adding, editing, or deleting content in one project's CMS collection will not affect other projects.

  4. Avoid global styles and symbols: When designing websites in Webflow, be cautious when using global styles and symbols. These design elements are shared across the entire project and can potentially affect other projects if modifications are made. Instead, use local styles and elements specific to each project to maintain independence.

  5. Publish individual projects: When making changes to a project, always ensure that you publish that specific project separately. This prevents any unintended changes from affecting other projects. Each project should have its own publishing settings and process.

By following these steps, you can prevent changes made to one project in Webflow from affecting other projects, allowing you to maintain separate design and content configurations for each project.
