Since yesterday im trying to add specific descriptions (like dimensions, materials, care) to each products; as I have many differents specifications for each, but I can not.
Every time that I modified one whole products specifications gets changed to the last add it. So that means that change all the others and I lost that information.
I don’t know how to solve it out. So please I need help.
Its not in the tipical description box, I added a three different icons with extra information (Dimension, Materials, Care info.) and the mistake comes from that.

the problem here is that when you work in Cusromize, you are modifying the template which is used to show your products. Initially, there is only one product page template and it is used to show all your products by pulling the product data from the Shopify database and putting it into right places in the template.
When you’re modifying template, these changes apply to all products suing this template.
You have 2 options:
a) create special template for each product. However, there are limits on how many template you can have, do not remember exactly, but it may be not enough.
b) use dynamic sources with your templates.
In this case you may create just a handful of template, say one template for ring and another for necklaces, but product-specific information is kept in the Shopify database, as part of the Product object. These extensions to Shopify objects are called metafields and you can create several metafield definitions for you product.
For example, you may create a metafield to keep text for your dimensions tab, another for Care tab and so on.
Then, in Customize, you instruct your template to pull this data from particular metafield of current product. This way you will have, say only one template, but it will show different tab content for each product.
Finally, you can always pick one of the page builder apps, like Shogun or Pagelfy, but they will require monthly payments.
You can use metafields to store the additional data for your products just like suggested by Tim. It’s a common way to add more details to the product page in Shopify. Luckily, we’ve got a set of neat step-by-step tutorials on how to properly display metafields on the product page:
link #1 - for displaying a single metafield, like an additional description;
link #2 - for displaying multiple product attributes.
