View source for Block Section Settings

===What is the Section Setting for?===
Easy Content Builder uses '''Section Settings''' as a special block to determine your ideal responsive layouts (1-column, 2-column, 3-column, 4-column, or hierarchical layouts) and global configurations (mask color, mask image, background video, parallax animation, etc.) within the section itself.

You can add as many sections on a page as you want. In each section, you create a Section Settings block to control the layout for that specific section. 

Below are some examples of how you can use the Section Settings block for your Shopify themes:

:*Set up multiple-column layouts:

===Reorder the Section Settings block===
Even though you can click and drag the ⋮⋮ icon next to the Section Settings to rearrange the block on your page, you should always keep the '''Section Settings''' at the bottom of the Content Blocks list that you might add to a section.

===How to create a parallax movement on scroll?===
{{Note|This feature is available for the Pro version only.|info}}

Parallax effects involve a page's background moving at a different speed than the foreground content. 

NOTE: Supposed that you already created a Section Settings (where you upload your background image) and content blocks used as the foreground content, like this screenshot: 

[[File:Ecb guide parallax.jpg|border|frameless|1024x1024px]]

'''Enable a parallax movement on scroll:''' 

[[File:Ecb guide parallax config.jpg|border|frameless|1024x1024px]]

Enter the Background Y position (the vertical position for the background image). In [https://easy-content-builder-demo.myshopify.com/products/clothing this demo], we applied the parallax scrolling to 2 sections (one with a value of -800; one with a value of 400). 

Please note you can use px, %, vw, or vh units.
