Why can't I see the 'Symbol' section in the Webflow 'Add' panel even though I have a section element highlighted?
If you are unable to see the 'Symbol' section in the Webflow 'Add' panel even though you have a section element highlighted, there are a few possible reasons for this issue:
You have already converted the section element into a symbol: If you have already converted the highlighted section element into a symbol, it will not appear in the 'Symbol' section of the 'Add' panel. Symbols are reusable components that can be easily updated across multiple pages, so once you convert a section into a symbol, it will no longer be available for selection.
The section element is nested within another symbol: If the section element is nested within another symbol, it will not appear in the 'Symbol' section of the 'Add' panel. Symbols can be nested within other symbols to create more complex and customizable components. In this case, you will need to access the parent symbol to make any modifications.
You are working in a multi-page project: If you are working in a multi-page project, symbols are only available on the specific page where they were created. The 'Symbol' section in the 'Add' panel will only show symbols that are available on the current page you are working on. If you want to use a symbol from another page, you can copy and paste it onto the current page.
To summarize, if you cannot see the 'Symbol' section in the Webflow 'Add' panel even though you have a section element highlighted, make sure that the section is not already a symbol, check if it is nested within another symbol, and ensure that you are on the page where the symbol was created.
