Update Webflow Sites to Style Guide 2.1

At a glance

The community member has several Webflow sites using Style Guide 1.4 and wants to update them to Style Guide 2.1. They are unsure whether to create a new Webflow page for Style Guide 2.1 on each site or replace the main-wrapper of Style Guide with the main-wrapper from the cloneable for Style Guide 2.1. They also wonder what happens to their Global-Styles Component during this process and if they need to make any changes.

In the comments, another community member advises being very careful when migrating from 1.X to 2.X versions. They generally recommend not migrating, as the components in the library are designed to be backwards compatible. However, if the community member truly wants to migrate, they suggest taking backups or duplicating the project and testing it first. The community member also mentions a changelog that details the changes from CF v2.0 to CF v2.1.

Several of my Webflow sites use Style Guide 1.4, and I want to update them to Style Guide 2.1.

  1. Should I create a new Webflow page for Style Guide 2.1 on each site?
  2. Or should I replace the main-wrapper of Style Guide with the main-wrapper from the cloneable for Style Guide 2.1?
  3. What happens to my Global-Styles Component during this process? Do I need to make any changes?

I would be very careful in migrating from 1.X to 2.X - I would say generally, our advice would be to not migrate. We've done a lot of work on our end to ensure that the components in the library are backwards compatible. So its just a matter of selecting your preferences and going from there.

However, if you truly want to migrate, I would make sure to take backups or maybe duplicate a project and test it out in that duplicate first. You can see a full changelog of what was changed from CF v2.0 to CF v2.1 here on the changelog section of our announcement post. https://library.relume.io/whats-new/january-component-day#webflow-style-guide-updates
