Yes, there is another way to transfer symbols between projects in Webflow without having to resort to copy-pasting. Instead, you can make use of the Webflow Symbol Library feature. Here's how you can do it:
- Open the project that contains the symbols you want to transfer.
- From the Designer, go to the "Symbols" panel on the left-hand side of the workspace.
- Select the symbols you want to transfer by clicking on them while holding down the Shift or Command (Ctrl for Windows) key.
- Once the symbols are selected, right-click on any of the selected symbols and choose the "Add to library" option.
- You will then be prompted to name the library and give it a description. Enter the appropriate information and click on the "Create" button.
- Now, open the project where you want to transfer the symbols to.
- Again, go to the "Symbols" panel.
- Click on the "Add symbol from library" button located at the bottom of the panel.
- A pop-up will appear showing the available symbol libraries. Choose the library where you added the symbols in the previous project.
- Finally, select the symbols you want to transfer from the library and click on the "Add symbols" button.
By using the Symbol Library feature, you can easily transfer symbols between projects without any risk of altering their dimensions or other attributes. This method ensures consistency and efficiency when working with symbols across different Webflow projects.
