Recommendation / best practice for copying between projects?

Design help General

So I had a page built in one project and am trying to copy it to another. It comes over somewhat close, but manually going through each class at each breakpoint kind of defeats the purpose of having this functionality.

As an example pasting this simple nav bar element onto a new page results in this.

When I look at the classes on login, the styles just aren’t adopting across the site.

One thing that is odd to me is that even when I go to the text-color-black selector on the original, the style for the color itself (which is set by this class) is orange rather than blue even though the tooltip shows the value coming from the current selector and I can’t undo it by option clicking - maybe that is why it isn’t coming over on the copy paste?

No read-only’s on this one - just can’t share the site.

Here is my site Read-Only: LINK

@sam-g - check default styles which may be different between projects. If I am copying and pasting I just deal with the results manually. If that frustrates me too much I just build with better tooling.

What @webdev said.

Also watch out for custom CSS, which is often used in templates but isn’t “known” to Webflow as part of the element styling that gets copied and pasted.

Thanks - not what I was hoping for but it will work.
