Importing Style Guide Into Existing Project

At a glance

The community member is trying to import a style guide into an existing project, but is having issues as the style guide is now considered outdated, even though it is the correct one. A comment from another community member explains that it is not possible to retrofit the v3 style guide into an existing project and still use the Webflow app, as there are requirements baked directly into the style guide that are not possible to import due to Webflow's limitations. The only benefit to adding the style guide to an existing project would be to allow copying/pasting pages/components from Relume Site Builder or components from the Webflow Library. The community member is directed to a document that provides more information, though it needs to be updated to clarify that it is not possible to use the Relume Webflow App with anything other than a new clone of the v3 style guide.

hello! I am trying to import the style guide into an existing project. I had it working properly but I exited out of the app to go backup my site before importing. Now its saying my style guide is outdated, even though its the correct one, can someone help?

@Sophia Walsh you won't be able to retrofit the v3 style guide into an existing project and still use the webflow app. There are requirements that are baked directly into the style guide that are not possible to import (webflow limitation).

The only benefit to adding the style guide to an existing project would be to allow you to copy/paste pages/components from Relume Site Builder or components from the Webflow Library.

This doc has a bit more information, though I do need to update it to make it more clear that its not possible to use the Relume Webflow App with anything other than a new clone of the v3 style guide.
