    1. Navigate to Online Store > Theme > Edit code
    2. Open the multicolumn theme liquid file
    3. Paste specific code at a designated position

Technical Details:

  • Issue involves CSS customization of the Dawn theme

I’m trying to figure out how to make the multicolumn background NOT full width like my email newsletter section. All other sections have the option to toggle it on/off except multicolumns.

Any help is appreciated!
