Automatic class naming

Now we automatically add class names when you start styling. You can still name new classes just like before, but you should be able to build a bit faster.

Automatic class naming

Starting today, you’ll no longer be required to create and assign classes to elements before you style them — we’ll do it for you.

Users comfortable with their existing workflow can carry on as usual by either creating or selecting an existing class. But with this change, automatic class generation opens up a third option that allows you to immediately style an element – without creating a class.

As you style an element, we'll create a class if you haven't already created one.

If you’re comfortable naming your classes before applying styles, you can continue to work in the same way. Classes are only generated if you haven’t already defined one first. Your existing workflow is still intact and you can use Webflow in whatever way is most comfortable to you.
