Hello,
Why do changes made to one product page mirror on another? Whatever i do in a new “Mugs” product page, the changes also happen in my “Ebooks” page. There are no tags or shared collections. What do i do to prevent changes made on one from affecting the other?
This is the ebooks page
And this is the mugs page,
I’m a newbie…, let me know if you need any other info to help me figure this out. Maybe it’s in the template but couldn’t find the problem. Please help.
Thanks much,
Abate
You can do this using a template. If you are using a template, you may be missing something.
Shopify uses templates to display data from your store database, each type of database objects (product/collection/blog/page, etc) uses its own default template.
A set of these templates, together with other supporting files comprises a theme.
By default, all products (for example) will use the same template, so when you add and configure sections and blocks in your theme editor it applies to all products, not just a product you currently see in theme editor window.
If you want some of your products to use different template, you should create a new template for product page and then assign this new template to these products.

This may seem limiting, but you can use Dynamic Sources to make same section to display different content for different objects of the same type (say, products) - https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/online-store/themes/theme-structure/sections-and-blocks#metafields-and-dynamic-sources
Thanks so much Tim! Perfectly helpful.
