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). In the previous image, the medium 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.
