Hi All -

Looking for insight on how I can adjust the text location in Dawn theme for my store. I’m looking for something where I have some text on the left edge, and then a few links focused on the right edge. Right now, I can’t figure out how to change the location and the ultimately have these support links across the site.

New to Shopify but learning each day! Thanks!

Here’s the store - right now, I just have a very simple announcement bar which I’m trying to update

you have to do some custom code for that.

Thanks, I tried to do some custom code but clearly have made a mistake and now not sure how to correct. Any thoughts on where to start? I tried to go back to other versions of the code but for some reason still continues to show this now on the website.

Any help from the community here would be much appreciated.
