# Section  blocks

Many sections contain section blocks. These are blocks of content that you can add, configure, hide, reorder within a section and remove. An example of a content block is a slide in a slideshow section. You can configure each slide, hide a slide, reorder slides and remove or delete a slide. 

### Adding blocks

Each section that supports blocks will have an option to add a block. For example, with the Timeline section, adding a new block is called **Add Timeline**.

### Block settings

Similar to sections, each block has its own settings. These settings are used to customize the block content within the section:

### Creative designs with sections and blocks

Build rich and creative sections on your homepage, product pages, collections, blogs, pages, and more by exploring different sections and block types. When using sections outside of the homepage, be sure to create a new template when unique content is needed on multiple pages.
