Sections Everywhere
All lumia theme layouts are based on sections. Most sections are made up of blocks that serve a specific function, such as headers, text, single images, a collage of images, or links. Using sections and blocks in your templates provides more flexibility in how you arrange your store's content, enabling you to control the look and feel of your online store without the need to edit code. Each template can have up to 25 sections.
Most of theme sections have a specific variety of blocks that you can add to it. You can add up to 50 blocks per section.
Customize your theme templates with sections & blocks
When you open the theme editor, your store's home page loads by default. You can use the dropdown menu to select a different template, or use the search bar in the template dropdown to search for a specific page type. Selecting a template loads it into the theme editor, and any changes you make are previewed in the editor as you make them.

Working with blocks
Blocks are customizable modules that make up the sections in your page templates. You can use blocks to add text, images, links, buttons, and more.
Our theme has sections and blocks that you can customize. Some sections have fixed block types, which means that you can only choose from the blocks made available to that section by the theme designer. Other sections allow you to select any block, but limit the total number of blocks that you can add to the section. If your section reaches the maximum number of blocks available, then a message displays the limit reached, and the + Add block option is greyed out until an existing block is removed.
