How To Edit Components In Webflow

Quick summary

Editing a component in Webflow requires locating the component instance, entering editing mode via a double-click, making your changes, and then exiting back to the canvas. This step-by-step process ensures component-level edits are applied cleanly without breaking your overall page layout.

Steps

1. Locate an instance of your component on the Webflow canvas.
2. Select the component by clicking directly on it.
3. Double-click the selected component to enter editing mode — the component will be highlighted and the background dulled.
4. Make your desired changes to the component content or styles.
5. When finished, click outside the component or press the back button in the top left to exit editing mode.
6. Your component has been successfully edited and changes are applied.
