Section settings
Content
| Caption | Small label above the heading, used for eyebrow text like a category or a date. |
| Heading | The section title. Leave it empty to hide the heading row entirely and let the content start at the top. |
| Heading size | Picks one of the heading sizes defined in Theme settings → Typography, so headings stay consistent across sections instead of being sized one by one.
Choose Default (default), H1, H2, H3, H4, H5 or H6. |
| Description | Body copy shown under the heading. Supports bold, italic and links. |
Newsletter
| Show newsletter signup | Adds an email field so visitors can sign up before you open. Addresses are saved as customers tagged "newsletter" and marked as subscribed to email marketing.

Logo
| Image | Logo image for this item.

Appearance
| Color scheme | Sets the background, text, border and button colors for the section. Schemes are defined once in Theme settings → Colors and reused everywhere, so changing a scheme updates every section using it. |

Tips
- Keep the newsletter on before launch. Signups become customers tagged "newsletter", ready for a launch email.
- Remove the password when you're ready to launch, in the same Preferences screen.
