Theme editor
The theme editor displays a tree view of all the content for the template that you're currently viewing in the sidebar. Expand a section node using the expand icon▸to view its blocks, or collapse it using the collapse icon▾to hide the blocks. You can click any section or block to view its settings.
Preview inspector
The preview inspector is a new feature of the theme editor. It allows you to navigate to sections and blocks directly from the preview window and find the corresponding settings faster and more intuitively. With the preview inspector, you can reorder, hide, or delete sections and blocks right from your preview window.
The preview inspector is available for allfree Shopify themes, and is enabled by default. You can toggle the preview inspector on or off during your editing session.
When the preview inspector is enabled, you can click any outlined element to open the corresponding setting. On a mobile device, when the preview inspector is enabled, you can click any element to select the corresponding setting. You can open the bottom sheet to make edits through this selected setting.
The preview inspector displays two different borders around the sections and blocks clicked in the preview window:
- Solid blue line: The active section. The corresponding setting in the sidebar is highlighted in grey.
- Dotted blue line: An associated block for the section. Clicking the item in the preview window opens the settings for the block or section.
Clicking any part of your website in the preview window loads the corresponding settings in your sidebar. On a mobile device, tapping twice will navigate the site as a customer would.
Add sections and blocks in the preview inspector
While using the preview inspector, you can add sections and blocks to your theme directly from the preview window. On mobile, you can add, duplicate, hide, move, and delete sections by using the edit mode in the bottom sheet.

Sidebar modes
The theme editor offers two modes to make use of all of the space on your screen.
Double sidebar modeis for wider browser windows and larger screens, andsingle sidebar modeis for narrower browser windows and smaller screens. The sidebar mode determines where the setting panel appears in the editor.
Double sidebar mode
If you have a screen larger than 1600 pixels wide and your browser window is fully expanded, or your browser window is expanded to at least 1600 pixels wide, then you'll have two sidebars. The left-hand sidebar contains the navigation panel, and the right-hand sidebar contains the setting panel.
Single sidebar mode
Narrower browsers have only one sidebar to conserve space for the theme preview. When you click a section or block to edit it, the setting panel opens over top of your navigation panel in the sidebar.
Section groups
Sections are grouped into the following areas in every page template:
- Header: this includes your header, announcement bar, and any apps or custom Liquid.
- Template: this includes sections that make up the main body of your page. For example, the template sections can include blog posts, collage, collection lists, or custom Liquid.
- Footer: this includes your footer, email signup, and any apps or custom Liquid.
Your header and footer is shared across all of your online store's pages. For example, if you add a custom Liquid block to the header, then that custom Liquid displays on all your product pages, home page, and any other pages. You can reorder the sections as needed.
Sections and blocks
In the list of sections and blocks, all of the blocks for the sections on a page are shown by default.
Sections that make up the header or footer are collapsed by default, but you can view them if you click the expand icon▸next to the section name.
Moving sections and blocks
You can move a section or a block from one area of the page to another area using the⋮⋮icon to click and drag the section or block and then drop it to another available location.
If you attempt to move a section or block where it isn't allowed, then the section or block will drop back into the original location.
Removing sections
You can delete a section or block from a template from the setting screen for each item. TheRemove sectionbutton appears at the bottom of the section settings.
Steps:
- In the theme editor sidebar, click the section or block that you want to remove.
- ClickRemove sectionorRemove block.
