Step 1: Open the Flexi App
In your Shopify admin, go to Apps and click on Flexi. This will take you to the Flexi dashboard where you can browse available sections.

-
Hero banners

You can preview each section before adding it.

Once you've found a section you want to use:
- Click "Add to Theme" next to the section name
- Choose the theme you want to add it to (usually your live or development theme)
- Confirm the action
The section will now be available inside your Shopify theme editor.
Step 4: Use the Section in the Theme Editor
