How to hide a section on desktop while keeping it enabled on mobile?

Topic summary

Goal: hide a specific Multicolumn section on desktop while keeping it visible on mobile in the Dawn theme.

Initial attempt: adding CSS globally (theme.liquid) hid all Multicolumn sections site‑wide, which was not desired.

Final solution: apply CSS only to the targeted section via the Theme Editor.

  • Path: Online Store → Theme → Customize → select the Multicolumn section → Custom CSS box.
  • Code: @media screen and (min-width: 750px) { .multicolumn { display: none; } }
    Because Custom CSS in the editor is scoped to the selected section, only that one Multicolumn is hidden on desktop (≥750px), while mobile remains enabled.

Clarification provided: where to place the code was shown via a screenshot of the Custom CSS field in the section settings.

Outcome: the requester confirmed it works; issue resolved with no further open questions.

Okay. got it.
