by

In this tutorial, we will learn how to make a symbol not a symbol on Webflow. Symbols in Webflow are powerful elements that allow you to create reusable components across your website. However, there may be times when you want to modify a symbol on a specific page without affecting other instances of the same symbol.

Step 1: Select the Symbol

To begin, navigate to the page where you want to make changes to the symbol. Select the symbol by clicking on it or by using the Navigator panel on the right-hand side of the Webflow interface.

Step 2: Detach the Symbol

Once you have selected the symbol, look for the “Detach from Symbol” button in the top toolbar. Clicking on this button will detach the symbol from its master version, allowing you to make independent modifications.

Step 3: Modify the Symbol

With the symbol now detached, you can freely modify it without affecting other instances of the same symbol. You can change its content, position, styling, or any other properties according to your requirements.

Bold Text

If you want to make certain text within your modified symbol bold, you can use the tag. Simply wrap the text that you want to make bold with this tag. For example:

<p>This is a <b>bold</b> text within my modified symbol.</p>

Underlined Text

To underline specific text within your modified symbol, use the tag. Wrap the text that you want to underline with this tag. Here’s an example:

<p>This is an <u>underlined</u> text within my modified symbol.</p>

Lists

If you want to include a list within your modified symbol, use the

    and

  • tags. The
      tag represents an unordered list, while the

    • tag represents each list item. Here’s an example:


      <ul>
      <li>List item 1</li>
      <li>List item 2</li>
      <li>List item 3</li>
      </ul>

      Step 4: Apply Changes

      Once you have made all the necessary modifications to your symbol, make sure to save your changes. You can then preview or publish your website to see the updated symbol in action. Keep in mind that these changes will only affect the specific instance of the symbol on the current page.
