Understanding Display Device Settings in Sections and Blocks

The Display Device setting in AppSections allows you to control the visibility of sections and blocks on different devices. This setting ensures that your Shopify store provides an optimized user experience across various devices. Here is an explanation of the different options available in the Display Device setting:

Display Device Options

1. All:

   • Purpose: The section or block is visible on all devices.

   • Usage: Use this setting when you want the section or block to be accessible and visible regardless of the device type, ensuring consistent user experience across all platforms.

2. Mobile Only:

   • Purpose: The section or block is visible only on mobile devices.

   • Usage: Select this option when the section or block is specifically designed for or only needed on mobile devices. This is useful for mobile-specific features or content.

3. Desktop Only:

   • Purpose: The section or block is visible only on desktop devices.

   • Usage: Choose this setting when the section or block is relevant only for desktop users. This can be used for elements that require a larger screen or are part of a desktop-specific design.

4. None:

   • Purpose: The section or block is hidden on all devices.

   • Usage: Use this option to completely hide the section or block from all devices. This is useful for temporarily disabling elements without deleting them or for elements that are no longer needed.
