# How to Add FAQ Side Navigation to the Origin Theme

FAQ with left sidebar navigation for categories. Sticky sidebar with category links, smooth scroll to sections, and active state highlighting on scroll. This guide shows how to add the FAQ Side Navigation section to the Origin theme with Section Shop — as a native Online Store 2.0 section, customized in the theme editor, without touching Origin's code. Origin is a free theme by Shopify, known for bold type and product-first structure — and faq sections like this one are exactly the kind of section it doesn't ship out of the box.

## Why FAQ Side Navigation fits Origin

Accordions, tabs, searchable lists and two-column layouts that kill pre-purchase doubts and cut support tickets. On Origin, FAQ Side Navigation 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 Origin's own sections in the picker — prefixed "SShop:" so it's easy to spot.

## 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 Origin setup until you add a section.
2. **Find “FAQ Side Navigation” in the library** — Open the app and browse to it — it's in the FAQ Sections category — or use search.
3. **Click “Add to theme”** — Section Shop writes the section into your Origin theme through Shopify's official theme API, the same mechanism Origin uses for its own sections.
4. **Open the Origin theme editor** — In Online Store → Themes → Customize, click “Add section”: you'll find it as “SShop:FAQ Side Navigation” in the picker.
5. **Customize and save** — Adjust text, images, colors and layout. Typography follows your Origin font settings by default — or switch the section to any Shopify font. Hit Save and it's live.

## FAQ

### Does FAQ Side Navigation work with the Origin theme?

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

### Will FAQ Side Navigation match Origin's design?

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

### Is FAQ Side Navigation free, and what if I uninstall Section Shop?

FAQ Side Navigation 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 Origin theme and keeps working.
