## Add the section, your image, and text
1. In the theme editor, open the template where you want the section.
2. In the left sidebar, click **Add section** > **Hero image with text**.
3. Under **Image**, select an **Image** and choose its **Image ratio**.
4. Under **Text**, enter a **Subheading**, **Heading**, and **Description**.
5. Under **Buttons**, enter a **Primary button label** and **Primary button link**. Add a secondary button the same way, or clear a label to hide that button.
6. Under **Layout**, set **Content alignment** to **Left** or **Center**.
7. Click **Save**.

## Show highlighted collections below the hero
1. Under **Highlighted collections**, make sure **Enable highlighted collections** is on.
2. Enter a **Heading**, for example "Shop by category".
3. In **Collections**, select your collections. 6 collections work best.
4. Choose a **Style**: **Standard** (title below the image) or **Card** (title on the image, with a mask overlay).
5. Set **Items per row on desktop** to **4**, **5**, or **6**.
6. Optional: turn on **Show 'View all' button to view all collections** and edit the **'View all' button label**.
7. Click **Save**.

> **Tip:** The collection images, product count, and overlay come from **Theme settings** > **Collection card**. Change them there to update every collection card in the store.

## Add a prominent badge
1. Under **Prominent badge**, enter the badge **Text**. Leave it empty to hide the badge.
2. Choose the **Accent scheme**, **Position**, and **Shape**.
3. Click **Save**.

## What customers see
- **Hero:** the image sits beside the text and buttons on desktop, and above or below them on phones.
- **Highlighted collections:** a row of collection cards that customers can scroll sideways. Arrows appear when there are more collections than fit in the row.
- **View all:** the button opens your all-collections page.
- **Phones:** customers swipe through the collection cards. Turn on **Show navigation on mobile** to show the arrows as well.

**The collections show placeholder images.**

**The collection cards look different from what I set here.**
Image ratio, product count, and overlay opacity of the cards come from **Theme settings** > **Collection card**.

**I don't want the collections row.**
Turn off **Enable highlighted collections**.
