Breadcrumbs

This guide describes the Breadcrumbs section.

Breadcrumbs show your store's visitors how the current store page is positioned within your store's overall page structure. Store visitors use breadcrumbs to navigate your store's pages.

The previous image shows an example store's blog (article) page. In the upper left, part of Theme editor's Breadcrumbs section menu is displayed. The menu's Separator option is set to "\". This option specifies the character/symbol to display inside the section, between each link in the breadcrumb navigation path. For example, at the top of the previous image, the section displays the "\" character in the Home / Blog / Example blog post breadcrumb navigation path.

For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview, and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
