Sections

Sections

Sections are used for two purposes:

1. To visually and logically group fields in the editor and to control the section's fields when the section is defined as repeatable

2. To group fields for the purpose of creating a custom layout per individual object (e.g. a page or a product)

Sections are not custom fields (Metafields) in their own right but rather control elements for the value and layout editor, respectively. If you need to loop over the contained fields, please see this article.

Adding a new section

To add a new section you can click on the Add section here on a field definition to add a section below the field. If you do not have any fields for the scope, the Add section button will also be available in the top menu bar.

You can prefix a section's title with a "-" (dash) if you need the section to appear visually as a "sub-section" of another section in the editor
