Slider content not able to be edited, or seen!

I just bought a template hoping al I had to do was just change the text and images.

I go to edit the site and what I expected was a hero section that shows the images and text to modify, but all I am left with is an empty space. I try changing the visibility, no luck…

I thought maybe I could preview the site and just to verify that something showed, nothing did.

I published the site and the hero works as expected, just not with the images and text content I would like.

Here is read only link - Webflow - Matt's Fabulous Site

update nevermind - the published site now also it missing the content and images, which means somehow I must have deleted an important slide.

Is there a way to revert to a previous publish?

Hello @Matt_McKenzie,
So this issue comes up a lot, some templates are not always the easiest to modify, the best way to test changing content is to copy the page on another project and test around without being worried about deleting anything. So if you can’t just command-z your way back to where you want, you might have to use backups. You can find backups on the left side menu under settings-backups:


Once you got it back to normal, you can edit the content by displaying the hidden collection, go to the div block with a class of hero-slider-placeholder and switch its display from none to flex, and the collection with the content will show up:

Make the edits you want, and when you are done, make sure you change the display back to none. I hope this helps!

Thank you for the reply, I did see a backup I could use. I was also able to edit image and content. Thanks you so much for helping me, I came from trying to code my website from scratch to webflow so I was really confused on how to do it.
