How do I rename text span blocks in the Webflow panel?

Renaming text span blocks in Webflow's Navigator panel isn't directly supported via custom names, but there are workarounds to help identify them more easily.

1. Understand Span Behavior in Webflow

• Span elements are inline text elements used for styling portions of text.
• In Webflow's Navigator panel, spans appear simply as "Span", without individual unique names.
• You cannot rename span elements directly in the Navigator like you can with other elements (e.g., Divs or Sections).

2. Use Class Names on Spans

• Select the span text in the Designer (double-click into your text and highlight the span).
• Use the Selector field in the Style panel (top right corner) to add a class to the span.
• Giving it a meaningful class name (e.g., highlighted-text or blue-span) helps identify its purpose.

3. Use Navigator Panel Effectively

• While you can’t rename spans, assigned class names will appear next to the span in the Navigator. This helps differentiate between multiple spans.
• Add different Style classes to each span if you need better visual cues while designing.

4. Use Comments as an Alternative (for Team Use)

• If you’re working in a team, add comments or use descriptive class names to communicate the span’s purpose.
• Webflow does not currently support internal development notes directly tied to elements.

Summary

You can't directly rename text span blocks in the Navigator panel, but giving them unique class names lets you label and identify them effectively across your project.
