Collection list carousel ​
This guide describes how to set up the Collection list carousel section.
Use the section to display a selection of collections arranged in a carousel layout on a page.
The previous image shows an example store's home page. In the upper left, part of the Theme editor's Collection list carousel section menu is displayed. The menu's Only show buttons on hover on desktop option is set to off (unchecked). With this option off, the section's buttons are always displayed. For example, in the previous image, the Merch, Bundles, and Chocolate buttons are displayed over the section's collection image tiles. Enable this option to only display the section's buttons when a cursor is moved over the section.
For general guidance with modifying sections, refer to Sections overview and Shopify help: Sections and blocks.
