Where is the unlink button located in Webflow symbols?
TL;DR
- Select the Symbol on the canvas or via the Navigator.
- Click the broken chain link icon in the top-right corner or Element Settings panel to unlink and edit independently.
In Webflow, the Unlink button for Symbols allows you to detach a Symbol from its master component so it can be edited independently.
1. Locate the Symbol in Your Page
- Click on the Symbol in the Canvas or via the Navigator panel.
- Symbols are identified by a green outline and label.
2. Use the Unlink Option
- With the Symbol selected, look in the top-right corner of the canvas or in the Element Settings panel (gear icon in the right sidebar).
- Click the Unlink Instance icon — it looks like a broken chain link.
3. What Happens After Unlinking
- The Symbol will be converted into regular elements.
- It will no longer be connected to other instances of the same Symbol.
- You can now edit the content without affecting any other Symbol instances.
Summary
To unlink a Symbol in Webflow, select the Symbol, then click the broken chain link icon in the top-right corner of the canvas or within the Element Settings panel. This detaches it from the master and allows independent editing.
