The previous image shows an example store's Collection list page. In the upper left, part of Theme editor's Collection list - collage section menu is displayed. The menu's Only show buttons on hover on desktop option is set to off. Turn on this option to only show the section's buttons when a visitor places their cursor over a collection tile (block) inside the section, on desktop display devices.
