This guide shows how to add the Explore Our Gallery section to the Dawn theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Dawn's code.

Why Explore Our Gallery works on Dawn

Story-telling layouts pairing visuals with copy — splits, overlays, zigzags and card grids for brand and product stories. On Dawn, Explore Our Gallery slots in like any built-in section: it inherits the theme's fonts by default, picks up your color choices in the editor, and lives alongside Dawn's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

How to add Explore Our Gallery to Dawn, step by step

  1. 1

    Install Section Shop (free)

    Add the app from the Shopify App Store. It's free, carries the Built for Shopify badge, and changes nothing in your Dawn setup until you add a section.

  2. 2

    Find “Explore Our Gallery” in the library

    Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Image with Text category — or use search.

  3. 3

    Click “Add to theme”

    Section Shop writes the section into your Dawn theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Dawn uses for its own sections.

  4. 4

    Open the Dawn theme editor

    In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Explore Our Gallery” in the picker.

  5. 5

    Customize and save

    Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Dawn font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

Explore Our Gallery on Dawn — FAQ

Does Explore Our Gallery work with the Dawn theme?

Yes. Dawn is an Online Store 2.0 theme, and Explore Our Gallery installs as a native OS 2.0 section through Shopify's official theme API. It appears in Dawn's theme editor as “SShop:Explore Our Gallery”, alongside the theme's own sections.

Will Explore Our Gallery match Dawn's design?

By default the section inherits your theme's fonts, so it picks up Dawn's typography automatically. Colors, spacing, images and content are all editable in the theme editor — no CSS required.

Is Explore Our Gallery free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Explore Our Gallery is free, like every section in the 56-section library. Once added it's a standard theme file: if you uninstall the app, the section stays in your Dawn theme and keeps working.
