Importing from site builder issues with spacing blocks and wrappers

At a glance

The community member was having issues with importing from the site builder to Webflow, where the spacing was not being imported correctly and was using wrappers instead of blocks. The community members discussed that this is a technical complication within the Webflow app from the site builder, and the community member's spacing strategy preferences are not considered when going from site builder to Webflow. The best workaround suggested is to copy components from the relume.io/components or through the Chrome extension, as the issue is with the site builder not knowing the spacing strategy when copying directly.

hey not sure if you remember a while back I was having issues with importing from the site builder and it not importing using spacing blocks rather the wrappers - all my preferences are set to blocks but it still imports in wrappers. could this be to do with the face ive got the chrome extension installed and the app aswell and it’s conflicting?

not sure what my answer was awhile back but it should have been this: Unfortunately its due to a technical complication within the Webflow app from site builder. Your spacing strategy preferences are not considered when going from site builder > webflow app > webflow. Very unfortunate I know. Its on our engineering roadmap but I do not have an ETA on it.

ah ok thanks for the quick reply matt - thought I was doing something wrong haha! What’s the current best workaround?

Hi I tried to copy individual components straight from the site builder to webflow and this still doesn’t work - is this meant to work or not given its not going through the webflow app at all…

naw the issue is with site builder not knowing your spacing strategy when you "copy". The best "workaround" is copying components in the relume.io/components or through the chrome extension.

Cheers thanks for the support
