Webflow Style Guide Import Dilemma ⚙️

A user accidentally deleted a Webflow template. A style guide was added, and now Webflow/Reloom incorrectly recognizes it as imported on duplicates, preventing the user from recreating the original template without rebuilding CMS and links. They seek a way to reset this status.

Hey, Matt.

00:02

Typed out this whole description and feel like it might just be easier to show you.

00:06

So, essentially what's going on is we had a site template.

00:12

So it was a template that I created in Reloom.

00:17

It was a sitemap with a wireframe.

00:20

There is a style guide on this, but I never touched it or imported it at all.

00:26

just use the wireframe to create this template.

00:29

Inside of this template, I went through, built out all the CMS that would be needed, rigged up that CMS on all the template pages and things like that, linked buttons.

00:37

So it was very much like a solid starting point.

00:41

had a VA come through and accidentally delete that template and added a style guide, to it.

00:50

So, essentially the this is now the quote template that we have with a style guide already, added to it.

00:57

what I ran into though is that when I duplicated this site, to try and get that template back, webflow in the Reloom app and webflow still recognizes that there's been a style guide imported.

01:12

So even though I'm in a duplicate of that site, to try and recreate that template so I don't have to go back through and built these CMS again and link buttons and rig it everything up.

01:22

when I go to the Reloom app, I can't.

01:25

If I wanted to try and import a style guide from another project, it says I've already imported, one.

01:33

So I didn't know if there was a way to like almost scrub the fact that a style guide had been imported into this site to try and again recreate that, that template.

01:43

that would be really awesome.

01:45

I don't know if there's a way to do it.

01:46

Would love your insight if there is.

01:48

I'm trying to get webflow support to unarchive that original template that never had a style guide imported into it.

01:56

but things got a little dirty with the site naming and everything.

02:01

So I'm not sure if the one I even selected is the right one.

02:04

maybe that one also had already had a style guide imported.

02:07

but that's kind of my dilemma.

02:09

I would love to hear your thoughts.
