Issue: In Shopify’s Dawn 15.2.0 theme editor, the left pane shows all sections expanded by default. The requester wants sections to be collapsed by default and the ability to name sections, to better manage many mobile/desktop variants.
Current answer: The theme editor does not provide built-in controls to collapse sections by default or rename them.
Workarounds: Achieving this behavior would require custom development or using third-party apps that modify the editor experience.
Context: Dawn 15.2.0 is Shopify’s default theme; “sections” are content blocks listed in the editor’s left panel.
Status: No official features or updates address these needs. No native solution provided; the request remains open/unsolved in this thread.
Im using the latest Dawn 15.2.0 and its very annoying to have all the section expanded in the editor as I have many sections for mobile and desktop as well. how can I have the left pane sections area to be closed in stead of default opened, and also be able to name each section for easy use and refs?
Thanks
Hi @xnyjyh
In Shopify’s Dawn theme version 15.2.0, the theme editor doesn’t offer built-in options to collapse sections by default or to rename them for easier reference. These functionalities would require custom development or the use of third-party apps to modify the theme editor’s behavior. As of now, there are no official updates or features addressing these specific needs.
If you have other questions, I will also answer them.
Best regards,
