Collage

This guide describes how to set up the Collage section.

Use the section to display an arrangement of media on a store page, like images, products, collections, articles, stickers and shapes. Refer to Shopify help: Collage

The previous image shows a store's home page with a Collage section. In the upper left, part of the Theme editor's Collage section menu is displayed. The menu's Only show buttons on hover on desktop option is turned off. With this option enabled, the linked buttons on each tile block in the section are displayed only when a visitor places their cursor over a tile. With this option off, the buttons are always displayed. For example, in the previous image, the article tile (block) on the left contains a button with the text Crispy chili oil noodles. When a visitor selects the button, the linked blog post article page opens in the visitor's browser.

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