Components?

Webflow Components are quite specific aka symbols.

I wonder if referring to the C+P results as "Components" is a little confusing? At least I initially assumed Stackerr was only for C+Pasting Webflow Components, not C+Pasting any Webflow Element.

Through this request, we identified that actual Webflow Components can be used as Stackerr wrappers. 
So the process is to create a Component in Webflow out of a div, and then nest your Stackerr components within there for easy updating/edits. Thank you again, Matt for identifying this opportunity! We're working on some tutorials to include for these workflows 😄 
Please keep us posted if you have any additional feedback!

That's an excellent point, Matt Evans, perhaps we can switch to calling them Layouts instead. As configuring items as actual native Webflow Components requires quite a lot more effort (I'm unsure if it's possible, but Kenny E Krosky and I can jam on ideas around that).
Naming things correctly is so important, thanks a ton, Matt!
We could potentially lead a change in workflow of creating Components in Webflow with a parent element, then you copy+paste everything from inside that component into Stackerr/back to Webflow (more so comes into play when you have multiple cross-site components to manage).

Waldo Broodryk: appreciate the quick fire work on this!

Weblow Components as Stackerr wrappers - now that is a great idea!
