Renaming relume components in webflow

At a glance

The community member who posted the original question is asking about best practices for renaming Relume components in a Webflow build, as they don't want to use the default random names like "banner14_component". The comments provide some suggestions:

One community member recommends using the Finsweet Chrome extension and its folders feature, and provides a link to documentation on this approach.

Another community member suggests renaming the components as you build, rather than all at once at the end of the project, as it can be difficult to rename components used across multiple pages.

A third community member prefers to leave the Relume section names as they are and consider them as IDs, especially when using Webflow components, as this allows them to name the components uniquely.

The original poster seems to appreciate both approaches and thanks the community members for their input.

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!

for sure - install the Finsweet chrome extension and use the folders feature. Here is documentation on the why.

Hi , noted, thank you for sharing!

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

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.

Ah I like both approaches! Thank you 😄
