Text columns

This guide describes the Text columns section.

Use the section to add text, arranged in columns, to a store page.

​

​The previous image shows a Text columns section on a store's home page. In the upper left, part of Theme editor's section menu is displayed. To specify a size for the section's (body) text on desktop display devices, the menu's Desktop text size option is set to M (medium). The text size is applied to the body text in the upper center and right.

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