Webflow Style Guide Import Dilemma ⚙️

Brad Pouncey

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.
