Help with sections and template dawn theme

Topic summary

Main issue: Edits to a section (a multicolumn block) on one page appear on other pages (Services, FAQ, Subscriptions) in a Dawn-based store, even after attempting to use different templates per page.

What was tried: The author created separate page templates and assigned them, but the content still mirrored across pages.

Guidance offered: Consider using Shopify Metafields (custom fields you define per resource) and Shopify Liquid (the templating language) alongside the theme’s template structure to enable unique content per page while reusing the same sections.

Follow-up check: In Shopify admin > Online Store > Pages > [each page], verify the “Theme Template” setting on the right is actually set to the new, distinct template intended for that page.

Status: Unresolved/ongoing. Next steps include confirming each page’s template assignment and, if needed, implementing metafields with Liquid to manage page-specific content.

Hi, new to this
Trying to create a website and everything I do on page faq or any other page is copied across the website, tried applying a different template to each page but that’s not helped.

I might be able to help you learn about what’s going on. Could you give an idea of what your trying to accomplish as well as if you’ve had any coding experience w/ Shopify Liquid.

If you want to start heading down the path on your own, I would look into Shopify Metafields and Liquid. I use these in conjunction with Shopify’s template structure to create custom/unique content on each page that use the same sections.

I’ve used shopify before but never had an issue like this

So I have a few pages lets call them;
Services, FAQ and Subscriptions
I want to list my services on the services page so I make a multicolumn, perfect it looks great, but then I go to FAQ and Subscriptions and they all have the same multicolumn.

I’ve tried in the pages tap adding a different template for each page but this isn’t helping.

I think I understand. When You go into Shopify admin look at Online Store > Pages > any of the listed.

On the right-side column, it should say something like ‘Theme Template’. Is it set to one of the new templates you created?
