Applies to: Kingdom 6.2.0 and later. Added in: Kingdom 2.0.0. Last checked: 2026-10-13 against Kingdom 6.2.0.

A section is a full-width area of a page, such as a slideshow, a grid of products or an email signup. Most Kingdom sections have their own blocks, which you add and reorder inside the section. Only the Flex cards and Flex grid sections use cards and the shared theme blocks; see How Kingdom is built.

Where to find it: open a page in the theme editor, then select Add section in the left sidebar. The sections are grouped by category, in the order below.

Settings that many sections share (inner content spacing, custom colors, heading tag) are explained once on General section settings.
