# How to Add Media Proof to the Dawn Theme

A large claim beside a tall picture, backed by a credentials list and one real customer review with a half-step star rating you enter yourself. This guide shows how to add the Media Proof 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. Dawn is a free theme by Shopify, known for speed, minimalism, being the Online Store 2.0 reference — and testimonials & reviews like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why Media Proof fits Dawn

Carousels, walls, marquees and video testimonials — social proof formats for every store style. For Dawn specifically, this is one of the strongest matches in the library: no countdown or urgency sections, and Media Proof fills that gap while inheriting Dawn's typography automatically, so it looks native from the first save. Dawn’s minimal typography carries over automatically: Section Shop sections inherit your Dawn font settings by default, so added sections look native from the first save.

## Steps

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. **Find “Media Proof” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the Testimonials & Reviews category — or use search.
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. **Open the Dawn theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:Media Proof” in the picker.
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.

## FAQ

### Does Media Proof work with the Dawn theme?

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

### Will Media Proof 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 Media Proof free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

Media Proof is free, like every section in the 164-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.
