Replace Component instances across your site in Framer
Learn how to replace Component instances across your site in Framer. Need to replace an old Component with a new one across your entire Framer site without tracking down every instance? You will configure the Component and its Variants, then test the interaction across breakpoints.
Lesson details
Select an instance of the Component you want to replace, choose the replacement Component, and apply the change across matching instances. Confirm that the new Component exposes the properties and Variants the existing pages expect before you make the site-wide swap.
Review every affected context after replacement. Text length, image ratios, links, interaction states, and responsive sizing can differ even when two Components look similar on the canvas.
Keep the layer structure aligned between Variants whenever Framer needs to animate them. Matching names and hierarchy produce more predictable transitions and easier maintenance.

Should I build this interaction as a Component?
Use a Component when the same interface or interaction appears more than once. Components keep structure and styling consistent, while Variants can represent states such as open, closed, hover, or pressed. Test each state and confirm that instance content still fits across breakpoints.
Will this Component work across breakpoints?
It can, but you should test each Variant and interaction state at wide and narrow widths. Check labels, tap targets, overlays, and content wrapping. Adjust the Component layout or instance content when a state no longer fits the available space.
What should I review after I replace Component instances across your site in Framer?
Review the exact pages and elements changed by the workflow. Confirm that copy, links, accessibility, responsive behavior, and interaction states still work as intended. Use preview for the final check and keep publishing separate from editing so you can fix problems before visitors see the update.
