In Webflow, if I duplicate a site with existing legacy interactions, will the duplicated site maintain access to the old interaction editor or will it be forced to use the new editor for any new interactions added?
When you duplicate a site in Webflow that has existing legacy interactions, the duplicated site will maintain access to the old interaction editor for those existing interactions. However, any new interactions added to the duplicated site will be forced to use the new interaction editor.
The old interaction editor, also known as the Legacy Interactions, is the original toolset for creating and managing interactions within Webflow. It uses a timeline-based interface and a set of pre-defined interactions.
On the other hand, the new interaction editor, known as the Interactions 2.0, is a more advanced and powerful interface for creating interactions. It offers more control and flexibility, allowing you to create complex animations and interactions using triggers, animations, and actions.
Here are some key points to understand about duplicating a site with existing legacy interactions in Webflow:
Legacy interactions: If the original site has legacy interactions created using the old interaction editor, those interactions will be duplicated and preserved in the duplicated site. You will still have access to the old interaction editor to modify or delete these interactions.
New interactions: Any new interactions you add to the duplicated site will automatically be created using the new interaction editor. This means that you will have access to the advanced features and options available in the Interactions 2.0 tool.
Transitioning to Interactions 2.0: While the duplicated site will maintain access to the old interaction editor for existing interactions, it is recommended to start utilizing the Interactions 2.0 tool for new interactions. This will allow you to take advantage of the enhanced capabilities and future updates that are focused on the new interaction editor.
In summary, duplicating a site with existing legacy interactions in Webflow enables you to preserve and maintain access to the old interaction editor for those interactions. However, any new interactions added to the duplicated site will be created using the new interaction editor, providing you with more advanced features and options.
