I’m new to Webflow and just purchased a template to get started. I can’t edit certain text layers that are overlapping because other text layers within or above are in the way. I tried to hide the other text layers but the whole sequence is inherited within each other. Is there anyway around this so I can edit the text individually?
I tried to double click the text layer in the navigator (like in adobe apps) but it doesn’t look like it’s a function.
That would be cool if we could easily edit the content of a selected text element.
You can use Symbols. Make a symbol out of your difficult to access elements. Then either lay over those symbols in a utility page and edit their content from there, or define a content override field for the text and edit it in the Settings panel.
Thanks for the feedback, I just created a dummy class and set the z-index to 1, changed the text then deleted that z-index class. Little did I know you can press on the text layer in navigator, hit enter then it can become editable.
I found that in some layouts the overlapping texts becomes stacked in mobile view. In these cases it’s easy to edit the text and the switch back to, for example, desktop view
