Directory
This guide describes setting up the Directory section.
Use the section to display a menu, with links to different areas of your store, on a page. Add an existing menu to the section, like the main navigation or footer menu, or create a new menu.
The previous image shows a Directory section at the top of a store's home page. The store's Header section is set to Hidden, and the Directory section is configured to display the store's main menu. Below the section, part of Theme editor's section menu is displayed. The menu's Text alignment option is set to Right. This option right-aligns the text inside the section.
For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview, and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
