Using the theme editor
Novara is built on Shopify Online Store 2.0. Almost everything is editable in the visual theme editor.
Open the editor
Online Store → Themes → Customize

Sections vs blocks
- Sections are full-width page areas (slideshow, featured collection, footer).
- Blocks live inside sections (menu item, slide, product tab, countdown).
Add a section: click Add section in the left sidebar. Add a block: select a section → Add block.
Color schemes
Most sections have a Color scheme setting. Schemes are defined in Theme settings → Colors. Change a scheme once and all sections using it update together.
Custom code (advanced)
- Custom Liquid section — add Liquid/HTML in the editor
- Custom Liquid block (
blocks/custom-liquid.liquid) — Liquid inside compatible sections - Custom HTML block — raw HTML content
Always duplicate your theme before editing code files.
