To reflect changes from site 1 to site 2 in Webflow, you will need to follow these steps:

Duplicate the site: To begin, navigate to the project settings of site 1 and duplicate it. This will create a new site, which will serve as site 2.
Link to the same CMS collection: If you're using a CMS collection in site 1, you'll need to link site 2 to the same collection. In the CMS panel, go to the "Collection" settings, click "Add another site", and select site 2. This will ensure that both sites are connected to the same data source.
Export/import CMS data: If you've made changes to the CMS items in site 1 that you want to replicate in site 2, you can export the CMS data from site 1 and import it into site 2. To do this, go to the CMS panel in site 1, click on the "..." icon, and choose "Export CSV". Then, in site 2, go to the CMS panel, click on the "..." icon, and choose "Import CSV". Select the exported CSV file and map the columns to the corresponding CMS fields in site 2. This will import the CMS data into site 2, reflecting the changes made in site 1.
Duplicate pages/elements: If you've made changes to specific pages or elements in site 1 that you want to carry over to site 2, you can duplicate them and place them in the corresponding locations in site 2. Simply select the page or element you want to duplicate, click on the "..." icon, and choose "Duplicate". This will create a copy that you can then modify and customize in site 2.
Make style updates: If you've made style updates in site 1 that you want to apply to site 2, you can manually make the same changes in site 2. This could include custom CSS, typography, colors, or spacing adjustments.
Test and refine: After reflecting the changes from site 1 to site 2, it's important to thoroughly test both sites to ensure that everything is functioning as expected. Check for any broken links, missing assets, or discrepancies in design.

Remember that reflecting changes from one site to another is a manual process in Webflow. While there isn't an automated way to sync changes between sites, following the steps above will help you replicate changes made in site 1 to site 2 effectively.
