Best Practices for Renaming Relume Components in Webflow

·Nov 08, 2024 01:46 PM

Hi everyone, after adding your relume components to your Webflow build, do you rename them so that they don’t have random names like banner14_component? I would love to know the best practices for this case, thank you!

Mélissa '. for sure - install the Finsweet chrome extension and use the folders feature. Here is documentation on the why. https://finsweet.com/client-first/docs/folders-strategy#power-renaming-with-finsweet-extension

One last question: best practice is to rename everything at once after the project is done or to rename as we build? Matt J.

Best to rename as you build - lets say you are using layout1 for multiple pages - it’ll be hard to rename both of those. You can rename based on a single page or project but if you are using the same layout Ona single page, it’ll be nearly impossible to rename uniquely.

I actually like to leave the relume section names and consider them as ID-s. Especially if I put everything into Webflow components. This way I can name those uniquely instead.
