Relume Overwrites Webflow Changes During Re-export

Question

Hi there, I am just getting started w/ relume and i love it so far! I am using Webflow after the relume process. Quick (maybe dumb) question. But lets say I am done in relume and I export to Webflow. Then I do a bunch of design in webflow - adding photos and logos. But I decide I want to go back and make some changes in relume (to pages I have already imported and designed). When I re-export, will it overwrite the changes I have made in webflow - or will it just update the new copy / components. In other words do I have to be completely DONE DONE in relume before I start webflow. And if I can't go back - is there a way to access relume's features in webfow (like adding a component, or writing new copy?)

@JAIME TRABERT so generally speaking yeah, the intentional overall is that the process is very much linear - not agile in the way that you could go back to Relume, make iterations, and re-sync those changes to Webflow. However, depending on what you are doing, you could do a few things:

You can import just a single page and create a new one or rewrite an existing one (you'll get this option when you go to start the import process).
You can also import just a specific component (section).

So if in Relume, you made some changes to a specific section or maybe added a new one, you could go into Webflow and import just that section and it'll inherit your style guide settings, but wouldn't sync any other design changes you may have made to the previous version of that section - hope that makes sense.

There's no two way syncing between Webflow and Relume and once you've imported a Relume component into either Figma or Webflow, there's zero connection to Relume at all.

Hope that helps!
