Choose the right level
| Area | What it changes |
|---|---|
| Theme settings | Shared design rules such as colors, typography, product cards and cart behavior. |
| Header and Footer groups | Shared navigation and footer content across normal storefront pages. The password layout is separate. |
| Template | The arrangement used by resources assigned to that template. Editing a shared product template affects all products using it. |
| Section | One module on the selected template, such as Product showcase or Gallery. |
| Block | An item inside a section, such as a collection card, slide, footer menu or product information row. |
Add or rearrange content
- Select the page or resource template you want to edit in the top template selector.
- Under Template, choose Add section. Search the section name in the section catalog, then select it.
- Open the new section to choose its layout and content. Add and reorder its blocks where available.
- Move the section using the editor’s reorder controls. Check desktop and mobile preview, then Save.
Some sections are fixed to a particular template or group. Collection page, Collections page, Product, Article and Password are template sections; Footer and Header belong to their groups. They are not all separate options in the normal Add section picker.
Connect content before styling
A resource picker links to a product, collection, blog, article, page or menu already in your store. If the picker is empty, create or publish the resource in Shopify first. A blank data-driven section may have nothing to show on the storefront even while its settings remain available in the editor.
Use a separate template for a different layout
Create a new template from the editor’s template selector when a product or page needs a different arrangement. Then assign that template to the resource in Shopify. Changing the preview resource alone does not create a new template or isolate its layout.
