This article shows you how to put a new block on your home page in the right place.
Use it when the page needs something it does not have yet: a banner, a row of products, a story, a newsletter box.
Before you start
- Editing needs the Customize Store Appearance permission.
- A page holds up to 15 sections. The gallery shows how many you have used before you add another.
Step 1. Open the gallery
Press Add section at the top of the section list. You can also rest the pointer between two blocks on the page and press Add a section here, or right click a block and choose Insert section above or Insert section below. The Add a section gallery opens.
Step 2. Read the cards
Every block is a card with a small drawing of its shape, its name and one line saying what it is for, so you can choose by how it looks.
Step 3. Click to add it
Click a card and the block goes in at the spot you opened the gallery from. If you opened it with the Add section button, it goes at the bottom of the page.
Step 4. Or drag it into place
You can also drag a card out of the gallery and drop it between two blocks on the page. The page shows where it will land while you drag.
Step 5. Check the count
The line under the gallery's title shows how many sections you have used, for example 6 of 15 sections used. When the page is full it says so and names a section you could remove to make room, and the cards stay greyed out until you remove one.
Step 6. Fill it in
The new block is selected as soon as it arrives, so its controls are already open in the settings panel: give it a heading, a picture, and whatever else it asks for.
Result
The block sits where you wanted it, ready to fill in. Like everything else in the builder, it stays in your draft until you publish.
