Accidently deleted sections in the Dawn template

[rivahviewhome]

I unintentionally deleted several of the Dawn sessions but would like to get them back. How can I revert back to the original format of the Dawn Theme. I tried to add theme again but it keeps coming back without all the section you see in the Demo Theme. Thanks for your help.

@rivahviewhome - if it all was the default data then I recommend, just delete current theme completely and install new dawn theme

I tried deleting it and starting all over but it still has all the sections missing.

Hi, @rivahviewhome!

Thanks for reaching out in our Community forums and sharing your concern. I’m happy to help.

I understand that you have removed a few sections from Dawn theme and would like to get them back. May I ask if you are referring to Sections and blocks that can be edited from the theme editor, or did you remove certain section files from your themes file? 

If you removed a section from the theme editor, then you can easily add it back by following these steps:

1. From your Shopify admin, go to Online Store > Themes, and then click Customize.
2. Select a template from the drop-down menu.
3. Click + Add section, and either select a new section from the list or use the Search bar to search for a specific term.
4. Click on the new section to edit the blocks within the section.
5. Optional: Click and drag the ⋮⋮ icon next to a section to rearrange the sections on your page.
6. Click Save.

If you completely removed a section from then you can look to revert your theme to a previous version. You can roll back files individually to a time and date before you made the changes. The next best option here would be to install a fresh copy of your theme.

Let me know how it goes!
