Center Justify Collection Page in Dawn Theme

Topic summary

Goal: Center-align the entire collection page content in Shopify’s Dawn theme, not just the header/banner.

Context: A store migrating from Brooklyn to Dawn plans to launch today. A previously suggested code change at Assets > component-collection-hero_title (around line 39) only centered the header, leaving the collection body left-aligned.

Request: A fix that centers the full collection body (product grid and text) on the collection page.

Clarifications: Dawn is Shopify’s default modern theme; the collection page includes a hero/banner area and the body containing product listings and metadata.

Latest update: A helper asked for the store URL—and password if the storefront is locked—to review the implementation directly.

Status: No solution provided yet. Action pending store access details to diagnose CSS/theme section settings and apply a body-wide centering approach (likely via layout/container or product grid styles).

Hi! We are planning to launch our new Dawn theme today (we have been in Brooklyn for many years). Our collection banner is currently left justified. We tried a fix that was suggested in this community which included code line 39 under Assets then component- collection- hero_ title and this fix only affected the header- not the body. Can you please send a fix that affects the entire collection body - to be center-justified? Thank you.

Hey @DouglasMerr

Welcome to Shopify Community! Can you share your Store URL so I can have a look on it? Also, if you have password enabled then please share the password as well. Your cooperation would be greatly appreciated.
