Sections overview ​

This article provides an overview of Label theme's sections.

Label includes Templates for building common store pages like the Home page and Product page. Within each template, Label provides reusable Sections and Blocks for adding elements into your store's pages - refer to Theme structure.

Instead of spending time recreating the same elements for every page, use Label's templates, sections and blocks in Theme editor for a convenient way to build store pages quickly, and to maintain a consistent design across your store.

In the previous video, the section settings menu for a store's home page is displayed in Theme editor. The Drag icon is selected to rearrange a Featured collection section above the Collection list.

Theme structure ​

A typical store has different types of pages, like Product and Blog post pages. Label provides a template for each type of page. For example:

• the Home page template defines what's displayed on your store's home page.

• the FAQ page template defines what's displayed on the frequently asked questions page, etc.

Label's templates are comprised of sections and blocks.

• Section. Within a template, a container for an area of content, like a header or footer, is called a section.

• Block. A block is an element of content inside a section, like a product, a video, or an image with text.

Page templates ​

Label contains default and additional page templates.

• Default. All Shopify themes include a set of default page templates for creating common store pages. Label provides pre-configured store pages, created from its default page templates, including a home page and checkout page.

• Additional. Additional page templates are used to create store pages that are unique to Label. To use Label's additional page templates, you must assign products or pages to them. Refer to Shopify help: Templates, and Enable the Lookbook page template.

Static, content and template sections ​

By default, Label's templates are pre-configured with sections and blocks that are most relevant to a page's purpose. Template can include the following types of section.

• Static sections are displayed in a pre-set area on most pages.

• Content sections can be added into almost every page.

• Template sections are available only on specific pages or area of a page.

Static sections ​

With the exception of the Checkout, Password and Giftcard templates, by default, all templates include the static sections described in the following table.

Typically, static sections cannot be fully removed or rearranged without altering Label's code (recommended for expert users only). However, you can hide a section by adjusting its settings - refer to Shopify help: Edit a section.

Content sections ​

The content sections described in the following table can be added into or removed from any page, except the Checkout and Giftcard pages.

Template sections ​

A template section provides a special content area to a particular template. Each template section is only available on specific pages. For example, only Label's 404 page template includes the Main 404 template section.

The following table describes Label's template sections and the specific templates they belong to.

Configure blocks inside a section ​

The names of the blocks inside a section generally correspond to the name of the section that contains them. For example, a default Faq section contains Question blocks, and a Slideshow section contains Image slide blocks.

Some sections have more than one type of block. For example, a default Product pages section is pre-configured with blocks for (product) Title, Price, Variant picker, and Buy buttons. Optional blocks can also be added into some sections, where relevant.

Configure, add, remove, hide, show, move or duplicate blocks and sections ​

To configure, add, remove, hide, show, move or duplicate a block or section:

1. In Customize theme, select a template that contains the section or block with you want to configure.

2. From the side menu, select the required section.

3. From the section menu, choose one of the following tasks.

• To configure a block or section, select the block or section, and then adjust the required setting.

  For example, the following image shows a selected Image slide block inside a Slideshow section.

  

• To add a block or section, select Add <block> or <section>, and then choose a block or section to add.

  For example, the following image shows the Add slide option to add an Image slide block into a Slideshow section.

  

• To remove a block or section, choose a block or section to remove, and then select Remove <block> or <section>.

  Alternatively, select the block or section. In the top right, beside the block or section name, select "..." (the ellipsis) icon, and then select Remove.

  For example, the following image shows the option to remove an Image slide block from a Slideshow section.

  

• To hide/show a block or section, select the Eye icon beside the block or section.

  For example, in the following image, the option is enabled to show an Image slide block inside a slideshow section.

  

• To move a block or section above/below another block or section, select the Drag icon beside the block or section. Then, drag the item to the required position.

  For example, the following image shows moving one Image slide block above another inside a slideshow section.

Section theme settings menu ​

In Theme editor, the (section) settings menu for some sections includes an expandable Theme settings menu. Expand the menu to access applicable theme settings for the current section.

For example, in the following image, the expandable Theme settings menu is included inside a Product pages section. Refer to Shopify help: Theme editor.

Each theme setting can apply to multiple sections and pages. Changing a theme setting from a section can affect other store sections and pages.

For example, by using the expandable Theme settings menu inside the Product pages section, you can adjust the Add to cart button style. The button is used in other sections and pages throughout the store. Adjustments to the button theme settings, inside the product pages section, are also applied the to other areas of your store that use the button.

When configuring a section, if you're unsure about an option in the expanded Theme settings menu, access the setting Theme editor's standard Theme settings panel instead. Refer to Settings overview.
