Yes, there is a way to avoid duplicating classes when duplicating a page in Webflow. Instead of using the duplicate page feature, you can use the "Clone" function for elements within the Designer. Here's how you can do it:

  1. Open your original page in the Webflow Designer.
  2. Select the element you want to clone and click on the "Clone" button in the toolbar.
  3. A duplicate of the element will be created right next to it, with the same class name.
  4. Make any necessary changes to the duplicated element without affecting the original element.
  5. Repeat this process for any other elements you want to clone on the page.

By using the "Clone" function for elements, you can avoid duplicating classes and maintain a clean and efficient class structure in your Webflow project.

This approach has several advantages:

  • Improved efficiency: Duplicating elements instead of entire pages reduces the amount of time spent managing duplicate classes.
  • Better organization: By keeping the class structure clean, it becomes easier to manage and maintain your project.
  • Flexibility: Cloning elements allows you to make specific changes to the duplicated element without affecting the original or other instances of the class.

Overall, using the "Clone" function for elements in Webflow is a great way to avoid duplicating classes when duplicating a page and helps maintain a well-organized project structure.
