How do i unsync the product tab descriptions for all my products? They are all in sync but i want to write personalised descriptions in the tabs for each of my products.

Topic summary
A Shopify store owner wants to create unique product tab descriptions for each item instead of using synced descriptions across all products.
Recommended Solutions:
- Install third-party apps like “Product Description Tabs” or “Free Tabs - Custom Product Tabs” to split existing product descriptions into customizable tabs
- Create custom product templates in Shopify’s theme editor to allow different layouts per product
Template Creation Process:
- Navigate to Online Store > Themes > Customize
- Use dropdown menu: Products > Create Template
- Name and save the new template
- Apply templates to individual products via the product details page in admin
Current Status:
The user successfully created a template but is struggling to locate the option to apply it to specific products. Support indicated the template selection dropdown should appear at the bottom-right of the product details page, though the user cannot find this option on their screen. Screenshots were shared to help guide the process, but the issue remains unresolved.
Hello @suoshie
I would like to give you a recommendation to support you.
You can try using the 3rd app :
https://apps.shopify.com/product-description-tabs
https://apps.shopify.com/free-tabs-custom-product-tabs
The app will split your existed product description onto the description tabs.
I hope the above is useful to you.
Best regards,
GemPages Support Team.
Hi @suoshie
To add on to what @tapita shared with you, we call these pages in the theme editor “templates”.
Templates · Shopify Help Center
A template is the base structure that your various pages on your store use. When editing the theme through the Theme Editor, you are not editing the content for the specific product/blog/page but instead editing the template that is used across all pages that are similar.
Following the instructions shared you can select the product page in the theme editor and then choose to create a new product page template. Once you have the new template created you will see an option inside your individual products to change which default page template they are using.
If you need additional help with this our authenticated support channels would be happy to help you further. To access our live support, please follow this link: Shopify Help Center. Next, you will want to follow the on screen prompts to sign in, choose your topic and issue and at the bottom of the help articles provided will be all available live support options.
Hi thanks for helping. Im not quite sure how to do step 3, how do i add a new “product layout”?
Hi im looking at that persons comment right now however i am unsure how to do step 3 “add product layout”. Could you guide me please
Hi @suoshie
I’ve included some screenshots along with instructions to help you find where to create a new product template page.
- In your store admin you want to head to Online Store > Themes > Customize your live theme.
- From the drop down menu at the top of the theme editor you want to navigate to Products > Create Template. (Screenshot 1 & 2)
- Name your new template and confirm. (Screenshot 3)
Now when you follow the first steps you will see your default product template and your new product template. You can select either one to edit. When you go into your individual product details you will have the option to change the template for the product page to your preferred one for that product.
Hi thanks for helping. I just did the first few steps and created the template but im now unsure how to put that template onto the actual product. You said there would be an option but i cant seem to find that option anywhere. Here is a photo of what i can see on my screen, id appreciate further assistance thank you!
You can apply different templates to individual products in the product details page within the admin.
From your admin home page go to Products > Select Product and in the bottom right of the product details page you will see a drop down menu with the option to change the applied template.
