Template-based section
Theme: Blum · Section type: Overview
Template-based sections are the main sections of a page type, such as Product details on product pages or Collection products on collection pages. They show the content of that page from your Shopify admin, and they work only on their own template.
Note: You can't add template-based sections from Add section on other templates. You can add all-template sections above and below them. See the article Blum All-Template Sections.

What customers see
- Page content: the template-based section shows the item's own content, for example the product's title, media, price, and variants, or the products of a collection.
- Same layout: every item that uses the same template has the same layout, with its own content.
- Extra sections: all-template sections you add above or below show on every page that uses the template.
Troubleshooting
I can't find Product details in the Add section list.
Product details is a template-based section. It's already in every product template. Open a product template to edit it.
I deleted the main section of a template.
Template-based sections aren't in the Add section list. Create a new template based on the default one, which still has the section, and assign it to your items.
My product description doesn't show.
The content of template-based sections comes from your Shopify admin. Check the product in Products, and check that the Basic description block is in Product details.
