How can I access and modify the laptop image or text in a Webflow template?

TL;DR
  • Open Webflow Designer and locate the image or text using the Navigator or by clicking on the canvas.  
  • Replace the image via the Settings or Style panel, edit text inline or in the Settings panel, check for Symbols or Components, and then publish your changes.

To modify an image of a laptop or change placeholder text in a Webflow template, you need to locate and edit those elements in either the Designer or the Navigator panel.

1. Open the Webflow Designer

  • Log in to Webflow, go to your Dashboard, and click on the project where you’re using the template.
  • Click Designer to open the visual editor.

2. Locate the Image or Text Element

  • Use the Navigator panel (left sidebar) to explore the layout hierarchy if you’re unsure where the image or text is located.
  • Or, directly click on the image or text on the canvas to select it.

3. Modify the Laptop Image

  • With the laptop image selected, check whether it's:
  • static image element: Under the Settings panel (gear icon), click Replace Image and upload a new one.
  • background image within a div: Go to the Style panel (paintbrush icon), scroll to Backgrounds, and click the image thumbnail to replace it.

4. Modify the Text

  • Click directly on the text you want to change.
  • You can:
  • Edit inline by double-clicking it and typing your new content.
  • Use the Element Settings panel to change content if it's a CMS-bound field (like from a Collection page).

5. Check for Symbols or Reused Components

  • If the image or text is part of a Symbol, you'll need to double-click the Symbol to edit its contents.
  • If it’s reused via Components, you might need to edit the base component in the Components panel.

6. Publish Your Changes

  • Once satisfied, click Publish (top-right) and choose your domain(s) to preview the updated site.

Summary

To change a laptop image or text in a Webflow template, open the Designer, locate the element via the Navigator or canvas, then replace the image or edit the text directly. Make sure to check for Symbols or Components to ensure the changes apply correctly.
