Importing Style Guides in Webflow: Options and Solutions

Is there anyway to import a style guide into a site that has previously had one imported? We had a template site get deleted and I'm trying to quickly rebuild the template while we wait to see if Webflow can unarchive the template. Didn't know if it was possible to do, but would be awesome if so.

Brad P. ugh, sounds stressful. So that I understand the question more clearly - you're going to start the project using the Relume Style Guide cloneable, and then you have the project in Relume with the style guide set up and you want to import that into this new project or? Maybe walk me through the steps you would expect to take here if I have this wrong.

keen to see if there's anything we can do to help alleviate the pain here.

Hey Matt J. - I typed out the below then thought a screen record might be easier 😂 so here's that as well. Here's the situation: We have a project in Relume called STARTER SITE V3 - Local SEO. It's a sitemap, wireframe, and style guide for a template site that our VA uses as a starting point. I created the site in Webflow using the cloneable and only imported the wireframe, so we had the pages and site structure. I wired up CMS collections the VA will need, linked buttons, etc. But never imported a style guide so the VA could duplicate the project in Relume, update the style guide, then duplicate the Webflow template site, and import the client's style guide to the template site. I wanted the VA to have buttons linked, CMS setup, etc. from the start. The process worked perfectly. However, the VA accidentally deleted the template site (since the Archive button is right next to the duplicate button) in Webflow Site Settings. The site had gone through some name changes, so I've requested what I assume to be that template site to be unarchived in Webflow. But in case that's not a solution for some reason, I duplicated the site the VA tried making. It's basically the template site with the client's style guide already imported. When I duplicate that site (the template site with the style guide already imported), in an effort to recreate the site template I had, it shows in the Relume Webflow app that I can't import a style guide since one has already been imported. My question: Is there anyway to revert what the Relume app shows so I can basically have that template back?

okay so if you go to the style guide page settings you'll see a hash for a slug, if you delete everything but "style-guide", that'll clear the unique ID for the style guide import

I assume that I could also use this method to "reset" the style guide if I want to have it be like it was never updated? Like I could import a fresh, default style guide - then go in and remove that unique ID. Then it'd be ready to be a true template again?

yeah correct! that was basically how I tested it

went to an existing project, deleted that slug, and just imported a completely different Relume style guide into that existing project
