Sections are customization elements that let you create reusable content units. They give you more selections to design your online stores. With just a few clicks, you can now add or move information on your Shopify pages thanks to this function.
Most sections are made up of blocks with clearly defined functions, like links, headings, text, specific photos, galleries, or single photos. You have more flexibility in how you arrange the content of your store when you use sections and blocks in your templates. You may alter how your online store looks and feels without changing any code. Each template can have up to 25 sections.
Besides, you also apply Global Block as a separate section to optimize the adjustment process of the same parts in different pages through your online stores.
