Tips
- On the Offset plates layout, a slide can show three images (Image, Second image, Third image). The One large image and Full-width layouts use only the first image.
- Add a Mobile image if the main image crops badly on phones.
- Autoplay stops when the visitor hovers over the slideshow and never runs for visitors who prefer reduced motion.
- For a single hero image with credits, use the Image hero instead.

Tips
- Set the focal point in the image picker so the important part of the photo stays visible when the image is cropped.
- Overlay strength tints the image with the scheme background color. Use 20 to 40% if the text is hard to read over a busy photo.
- Credits (label and text) appear in a strip under the image. They show in the Stage layout only. Add up to three Credit blocks.
- To use a transparent header, turn on Transparent on the home page in the Header and put this section first on the home page.

Tips
- Pick a collection in Collection. Without a collection, only placeholder images show in the theme editor, and shoppers see no products.
- The Spotlight layout needs a collection with at least five products.
- In the Spotlight layout, Show description under the large card (on by default) shows the start of the product description under the large card (about 140 characters). Turn it off for a cleaner card. The setting only shows when Layout is Spotlight.
- The card details (vendor, card subtitle, color swatches, item numbers, badges) come from Theme settings > Product cards and Badges.

Tips
- Use the Product title, Price, Description, Variant picker and Add to cart blocks to build the buy area.
- The Product highlights block shows rows you type in the block, such as Delivery or Returns. The rows are the same for every product. Put text that is specific to one product in its description instead. Leave a label or value empty to skip that row.
- The Description block shows the start of the product description, and the Price block shows the Card subtitle when it is on.
- The Variant picker block shows color options as swatches and size options as buttons or a dropdown.
- Use the Custom Liquid block or an app block for anything the other blocks do not cover.
