This is an overview of the changes to the Webflow APIs and related tools. To filter the list, select one or more tags.

DevLink global stylesheet moves into the css/ subfolder

When you re-sync your site with DevLink, the global.css stylesheet is now written to the css/ subfolder alongside the other DevLink stylesheets instead of at the root of the export.

What changed

global.css now lives at css/global.css alongside classes.module.css, instead of at the root of <rootDir>.

<rootDir>/ ← Root folder defined in `webflow.json`
├── DevLinkProvider.jsx
├── DevLinkProvider.d.ts
├── css/
│ ├── global.css ← Moved from the root of <rootDir>
│ └── classes.module.css
├── <UserComponent>.jsx
└── webflow_modules/

Action required

Update the path in the file that imports global.css (usually a layout or entry file) to add the css/ segment.

Before:

1import "../../../devlink/global.css";

After:

1import "../../../devlink/css/global.css";

The same change applies if you use a different alias or relative path — add css/ before global.css.

For more information, see What DevLink Exports.


Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts now ship with DevLink exports

DevLink exports now automatically load Google Fonts and Adobe Fonts at runtime, matching how a published Webflow site renders them.

What changed

  • fonts.manifest.json — a new file in every export, listing the Google Fonts families and Adobe Fonts kit ID in use on your site.
  • useInjectFonts hook — a new hook that reads fonts.manifest.json on mount and injects the WebFont Loader and the Adobe kit scripts into document.head.
  • DevLinkProvider.tsx — now calls useInjectFonts, so mounting the provider is enough to load both font families.

Custom uploaded fonts continue to ship as @font-face rules in css/fonts.css and are unaffected.

Action required

If your site uses Adobe Fonts, you need to add your deployment domains to your Adobe Fonts web project allowlist before fonts will render outside *.webflow.io. Google Fonts requires no setup.

Run webflow devlink sync to pick up the changes. For full details, see Fonts in DevLink exports.


DevLink engine file structure update

When you re-export your site with DevLink, you’ll see updated import paths in your exported components. Your components should continue to work without any code changes on your part.

What you’ll see after re-exporting

Updated import paths

Your exported components will have updated import paths for built-in Webflow elements:

Before:

1import Block from "../_Builtin/Block";

After:

1import Block from "../webflow_modules/Basic/components/Block";

Import paths have changed from ../_Builtin/Block to ../webflow_modules/Basic/components/Block, but your component code remains exactly the same.

Deprecated barrel export removed

The deprecated index.js barrel export file has been removed. This file previously re-exported all DevLink modules with a performance warning.

If you were importing from index.js, you’ll need to update your imports to use specific file paths instead.

Your components still work

No component code changes required — your component code, props, and behavior remain exactly the same

Same export format — component and global CSS file structure is unchanged

Easy update — simply run webflow devlink sync to update your components with the new structure

What changed internally

DevLink engine files have been reorganized from a flat structure into organized folders:

  • All internal components moved to webflow_modules/ folder
  • Components grouped by category (Dropdown, Form, Navbar, etc.)
  • Helper functions grouped with their related components

⚠️ If you’ve customized or directly imported DevLink internal files, you may need to update your code.

Recommendation: Avoid importing DevLink internal files directly. If you do, be aware that these files are not part of the external API and are subject to breaking changes with future updates.

For more information, see What DevLink Exports.

Comments API: replies, user search, and webhook enrichment

Three additions to the Comments API that enable integrations to participate in comment threads and build richer comment notifications.

New endpoint: Create comment reply

The Create Comment Reply endpoint lets you post a reply to an existing comment thread programmatically.

  • Method: POST /beta/sites/{site_id}/comments/{comment_thread_id}/replies
  • Scope: comments:write
  • Author attribution: The reply is always attributed to the user who authorized the OAuth token.
  • Mentions: To @mention a user in a reply, include their user ID in double square brackets in the content, field such as [[userId]]. Use the new Search Users by Email endpoint to look up user IDs.

Creating a reply automatically fires the comment_created webhook.

New endpoint: Search users by email

The Search Users by Email endpoint lets you look up a workspace user by their exact email address, returning their Webflow user ID for use in comment @mentions.

  • Method: GET /beta/sites/{site_id}/comments/users?email={email}
  • Scope: comments:read
  • Search type: Exact email match only — no partial or fuzzy search.
  • Returns an empty array if no user with the specified email address is found.

Webhook enrichment: comment location data

The comment_created webhook payload now includes three new fields that identify where a comment is anchored on a page.

FieldTypeDescription
objectIdstringThe ID of the page or CMS collection item the comment is on
objectTypepage | cms-itemWhether the comment is on a page or a CMS item
elementIdstringThe ID of the DOM element the comment pin is attached to

The existing pageId field is unchanged; it always contains the containing page ID. For comments on CMS items, objectId is the item ID, while pageId is the template page.

These fields are additive. Existing webhook consumers are not affected.



Publishing individual pages

You can now publish an individual page instead of the entire site.

By default, the Publish Site endpoint continues to publish the entire site. However, you can now pass the ID of a single page in the pageId parameter to publish only that page.

In the case of publishing an individual page, the API publishes:

  • The HTML, JSON, and CSS for the selected pages
  • All locales for the selected pages
  • Page-specific JavaScript for the selected pages
  • An updated static manifest that includes the new or updated pages
  • An updates sitemap that includes the selected pages
  • And updates manifest.json file to support detail pages (collection templates)

Global resources that have changed since last publish continue to show the version that was on the page in the Designer when the page was published.

Example

To publish an individual page, include the ID of the page to publish:

$curl -X POST https://api.webflow.com/v2/sites/{site_id}/publish \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d '{
> "customDomains": ["660c6449dd97ebc7346ac629"],
> "publishToWebflowSubdomain": true,
> "pageId": "64abc123def4567890abcde1"
> }'

To publish the full site as usual, omit pageId:

$curl -X POST https://api.webflow.com/v2/sites/{site_id}/publish \
> -H "Authorization: Bearer <token>" \
> -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
> -d '{
> "customDomains": ["660c6449dd97ebc7346ac629"],
> "publishToWebflowSubdomain": true
> }'

The response now includes a publishScope field to indicate whether the site or an individual page was published:

1{
2 "customDomains": [],
3 "publishToWebflowSubdomain": true,
4 "publishScope": "page"
5}

Webhooks

The Site Publish webhook event has a new publishScope field, which shows site if the entire site was published and page if an individual page was published. If this field is set to page, the pageId field shows the ID of the page.


MCP v1.2 - Elements, styles, variables, and more

Version 1.2 of the Webflow MCP server adds new element tools, expanded CSS coverage, full variable management, webhook support, and MCP Bridge App improvements. If you are already using the MCP server, your agents and prompts automatically use this new version.

Elements

  • Create more complex elements: Previously, the element builder could create nested elements only 3 levels deep, but now it can construct arbitrarily deep element trees in a single call. In addition, execution is faster and more element types are supported.

  • Before/after placement: Agents can now place elements before and after existing elements, giving them more precise control over where elements are inserted relative to their siblings.

  • Create elements from raw HTML: A new tool accepts a raw HTML string and converts it directly to Webflow elements.

  • Element query: A new query tool lets agents search and filter elements by type, class, tag, or attribute. Results are returned as a structured tree, not a flat array.

  • Cleaner get_all_elements response: The response is now a hierarchical tree with only essential data per node, reducing payload size.

  • Child depth control on get_selected_element: Agents can now control the number of levels of children returned when they retrieve an element by providing the depth parameter.

  • remove_element: Agents can now delete elements from the canvas.

Components

  • Component editor with slot support: A new component editor supports no depth limit and slot definition on edit, mirroring the capabilities of the updated element builder.

  • unregister_component: Agents can now remove a component from a site. The tool returns a clear error when the component does not exist or has active instances.

  • Read component instance slots: Agents can now read all slots defined on a component instance.

Styles

  • 500+ CSS properties: The Style tool now covers 500+ CSS properties. Properties that were previously unsupported no longer fail silently.

  • Improved style search: Style search now supports filtering by property, value, tag, and class name, returning more relevant results with less noise.

  • remove_style: Agents can now delete a style from a site. The tool returns a clear error when the style does not exist or is currently in use.

Variables

  • Custom variable creation: Agents can now create custom variables, including support for color-mix() and calc() expressions.

  • Read custom variables: Agents can now read all custom variables defined on a site, including their expressions and resolved values.

  • Search variables: A new search action on the Variable tool lets agents filter variables by name, type, or collection ID.

  • Rename and delete variables: Agents can now rename or delete variables. The tool returns a clear error when the variable does not exist or is currently in use.

Webhooks

  • data_webhook_tool: A new tool covers webhook management, including creating and deleting registrations for specific event trigger types.

Enterprise

  • list_site_activity: A new action on the Enterprise tool lets agents query site activity logs.

MCP Bridge App

  • Improved UI and observability: The MCP Bridge App now surfaces tool execution stages, status, and timing in real time. Agents and engineers can view tool arguments and responses, export logs, and access quick links for common debugging actions.

  • Improved heartbeat: The heartbeat interval is reduced to prevent premature timeouts. Agents are notified on connection loss and can reconnect without losing state.

Bug fixes

  • Asset: corrupt asset silent failure: Tools that accept asset IDs now return a clear error when the asset does not exist, instead of failing silently. This update applies across all tools.

  • CMS: locale ID required error: Fixed an error where the CMS tool incorrectly required a locale ID in contexts where it was not needed.

  • Site: custom domain required error on publish: Fixed an error where publishing failed when no custom domain was set on the site.

  • Styles: combo class creation bug: Creating a combo class when the base class already exists no longer fails. This behavior now matches the expected in-product behavior.

New component methods

These new functions are now available in the Designer API:

Beta

These methods are in public beta and may change with future releases.

Getting the selected component

You can now retrieve the component that is currently being edited with the new webflow.getCurrentComponent() function (Beta). If no component is being edited, the method returns null.

1const component = await webflow.getCurrentComponent();
2if (component) {
3 const name = await component.getName();
4 console.log(`Currently editing component: ${name}`);
5 // Example: get all elements inside the active component
6 const root = await component.getRootElement();
7 const children = await root.getChildren();
8 console.log(`Root has ${children.length} child element(s)`);
9} else {
10 console.log('Not currently editing a component.');
11}

For more information, see Get the selected component.

Getting an element’s parent component

You can now retrieve the component that directly contains a given element with the new element.getParentComponent() function (Beta). If the element is not inside a component, the method returns null.

1const element = await webflow.getSelectedElement();
2if (element) {
3 const parentComponent = await element.getParentComponent();
4 if (parentComponent) {
5 const name = await parentComponent.getName();
6 console.log(`Element is inside component: ${name}`);
7 } else {
8 console.log('Element is not inside a component.');
9 }
10}

For more information, see Get the parent component.

Getting and setting component settings

The new component.getSettings() and component.setSettings() functions let you read and update a component’s name, group, and description in a single call:

1const components = await webflow.getAllComponents();
2const component = components[0];
3
4// Read all settings at once
5const settings = await component.getSettings();
6console.log(settings.name); // 'Hero Section'
7console.log(settings.group); // 'Sections'
8console.log(settings.description); // 'A reusable hero with heading and CTA'
9
10// Update only the description
11await component.setSettings({
12 description: 'Updated hero layout with video background',
13});
14
15// Update all settings at once
16await component.setSettings({
17 name: 'Hero Section v2',
18 group: 'Sections',
19 description: 'Redesigned hero component',
20});

For more information, see:


March 24, 2026

Search for Components

You can now use the webflow.searchComponents(options) method (Beta) to search for Components by name or description. If you don’t provide a search parameter, the method returns all Components. If you provide a string search parameter as in the following example, the method returns Components with matching names or descriptions.

1// Get all Components
2const allComponents = await webflow.searchComponents();
3/*
4[
5 {
6 id: 'xxxx',
7 name: 'Hero section',
8 group: 'Sections',
9 description: 'Lorem ipsum',
10 instances: 3,
11 canEdit: true,
12 library: null,
13 },
14 {
15 id: 'yyyy',
16 name: 'Nav Bar',
17 group: 'Navigation',
18 description: '',
19 instances: 5,
20 canEdit: false,
21 library: { name: 'Core Library', id: 'lib_123' },
22 },
23]
24*/
25
26// Search for Components by query
27const heroes = await webflow.searchComponents({ q: 'Hero' });
28/*
29[
30 {
31 id: 'xxxx',
32 name: 'Hero section',
33 group: 'Sections',
34 description: 'Lorem ipsum',
35 instances: 3,
36 canEdit: true,
37 library: null,
38 },
39]
40*/
Beta

These methods are in public beta and may change with future releases.

For more information, see Search for Components.


March 18, 2026

Open a canvas

You can now programmatically open a Component’s canvas or navigate to a page with the new webflow.openCanvas() method (Beta).

1// Open a component canvas by ID
2await webflow.openCanvas({ componentId: 'component-id' });
3
4// Open a component canvas by reference
5const components = await webflow.getAllComponents();
6await webflow.openCanvas(components[0]);
7
8// Navigate to a page by ID
9await webflow.openCanvas({ pageId: 'page-id' });
Beta

These methods are in public beta and may change with future releases.

Previously, Designer Extensions and MCP agents that needed to modify a Component’s internal structure had to rely on the user manually navigating to the component canvas. The openCanvas() method removes that manual step and enables fully automated Component workflows.

openCanvas() accepts a Component ID, a Component reference, or a ComponentElement (instance) reference to open the component canvas. It also accepts a page ID or Page reference to navigate to a page — equivalent to calling webflow.switchPage().

For more information, see Open a canvas.
