Add Sections
Once you create a template by following section 2.3 Creating templates, you can add prebuilt content blocks provided by Easy Content Builder onto the template you’ve just created and edit them to your needs.
Before adding the content blocks, you need to create a section first. Easy Content Builder uses sections to create your ideal layouts including 1-column, 2-columns, and 3-columns layouts. You can add as many sections on a page as you want.
Create a section
When completing the steps in section Creating templates, you should be redirected to the Theme Editor where you can start adding a new section to the template you’ve just created:
Note: You can also open the Theme Editor of the specific template directly from the Easy Content Builder dashboard. Simply go to Shopify admin > Apps > Easy Content Builder > Manage Templates > select the template you want to edit and click Customize.
To create a new section:
- From the theme editor, click + Add Section in the sidebar.
Tips: While using the preview inspector, you can also add sections to the template directly from the preview window.
- Scroll down the list of available blocks prebuilt by the Easy Content Builder and click Section settings: <img>
