Pages
Every page on a Shopify store is built from a template. The template says which sections appear and in what order; you rearrange them in the theme editor.
Switch between templates using the dropdown at the top of the theme editor, next to the store name.
How templates work
Most templates have a main section that cannot be removed — the product page has to show a product, the cart has to show a cart. Around that you can add, remove and reorder anything you like.
Some sections are restricted to one template. A Product tabs section only appears in Add section on a product template, because it reads from the product being viewed and would have nothing to show elsewhere.
Alternate templates
You are not limited to one template per page type. In the admin you can create product.wholesale, page.about, collection.sale and so on, lay each out differently, then assign individual products, pages or collections to them.
Greenix ships with alternates for standard pages — About, Contact and FAQ. Create more from Online Store → Themes → ⋯ → Edit code → Templates → Add a new template, or from the template dropdown in the theme editor.
