CutCopy
Connect CutCopy with Webflow to transfer variables and attributes between projects without manual recreation.
How to integrate CutCopy with Webflow
Webflow's native copy-paste doesn't keep variable bindings between projects. When you copy elements from one site to another, variables are broken and require manual rebinding. CutCopy lets you selectively export and import variables between projects without recreating them.
Install the CutCopy app from the Webflow Apps Marketplace to get started. It runs as a Designer Extension directly within Webflow, so no embed code or external scripts are required.
Use the CutCopy app
Install CutCopy from the Webflow Apps Marketplace to access variable and attribute management tools directly in Webflow. After installation, create a CutCopy account to save variable collections, manage variable themes, and transfer variables between projects.
CutCopy includes the following features:
- Variable export and import: Transfer complete variable collections between Webflow projects
- Smart Import: Review highlighted changes before applying imported variables to prevent accidental overwrites
- Selective variable transfer: Cherry-pick specific variables instead of importing entire collections
- Variable themes and collections: Organize variables systematically and back them up to your CutCopy account
- Attribute Clipboard: Copy and paste element attributes between elements within Webflow
- Attribute Template Management: Save and reuse attribute configurations
CMS bindings and color variables have known limitations when transferred across sites. According to Webflow's copy-paste documentation, CMS data bindings result in empty elements at the destination and need manual rebinding. Color variables become static colors when pasted between sites and must be manually re-added as variables. These are Webflow platform constraints that also affect CutCopy transfers.
What you can build
Integrating CutCopy with Webflow lets you manage design system variables across multiple projects, though independent user validation of these benefits is not yet publicly available.
- Multi-site design system management: Export a master variable collection and import it into each new project to maintain brand consistency across sites. CMS bindings and color variables need manual rebinding after transfer.
- Project templating workflows: Create starter projects with complete variable themes, then transfer those foundations to new sites. Collection lists and CMS elements need reconfiguration after import.
- Rapid prototyping environments: Copy attributes between elements within Webflow using the Attribute Clipboard feature rather than configuring each property manually
- Design system backup and recovery: Export variable collections to your CutCopy account before making changes to create restore points for complex variable systems
Frequently asked questions
Go to the Webflow Apps Marketplace and click install. The extension loads directly into Webflow. You'll need to create a CutCopy account during setup to access saved variable collections and backup features. No embed codes or custom scripts are needed. CutCopy runs as a Designer Extension within Webflow's native environment.
CMS data bindings don't transfer between projects. This is a Webflow platform limitation, not a CutCopy issue. According to Webflow's copy-paste documentation, collection lists copied between sites result in empty elements in the destination project and need manual rebinding of CMS fields. Wrapping collection items in Div blocks before transfer can help keep layout structure intact.
No. Color variables lose their variable status when imported between Webflow sites. Per Webflow's documentation, color variables become static colors when transferred and must be manually re-added as variables in the destination project. Plan for this post-import cleanup when transferring complex design systems between projects.
