I’m trying to rename a Style in my Project. As soon as I start to type anything it tells me Style already exists. I don’t have this problem with other Styles in my Project I wish to rename. Why? I have already flushed any unused Styles from the Style Selectors panel.
@JonBanquer - Providing a read-only link to the project and further details would allow for potential assistance. That is always a basic first step when posting.

Jeff,
Okay. I made a little progress. Using the Styles Selector I saw it had, I guess, a child Style. I deleted the child Style and then I was able to easily rename it in the Styles Selector. I’m not sure how I created a child Style but apparently this was the issue. Maybe it’s called a Combo Style? It didn’t appear like a Combo Style normally does with other tag(s) in the CSS editor.
Can you go back in time before I fixed it with a read only link?
Read-only links are a snapshot on share and will not reflect changes you made after for the consumer of the shared link.
Can someone open a Read Only Link and say look at my project tree but not edit it?
Read only share links are read-only and that is the purpose.
hi @JonBanquer as @webdev the read only link can’t be permanently modified by other users. Even if someone delete all pages on shared read-only, next time browser reload all will be a before.
Anyway to your issue you are trying to create class that already exist. You can check what classes are in your project, and also delete “unused” to cleanup.
All these simple basics are very well documented in WF docs. I will recommend to read a docs and visit WFU tutorials become familiar how to work with this platform.
When you say Classes do you mean Styles? Deleting all unused Styles didn’t help. Deleting what I call a childhood dependency in the Styles Selector, that your gif shows, found by pushing the wrench button or the other button, can’t remember which button it was, solved the problem and allowed me to rename.
I am still unsure if a Read Only File is a screenshot or the ability for someone to peruse my Project but not change anything.
I AM doing the official Webflow tutorials. It’s called Webflow 101. Many people besides myself seem to have issues and get stuck. They post in the
YouTube comments. See here:
yes, CSS means “Cascading Style Sheet” you are giving an Class name as selector be able to modify visual style of HTML element.
It may be a bit confusing that WF didn’t updated theirs tutorials but when you have CSS and HTML knowledge it doesn’t mother
