Collection layout and appearance

You can edit a collection's name or description, change its featured image, or change the display order of its products. If you've created custom templates for your collection page, then you can also use a different template. Before you update a collection, you can check the top of the page to determine whether another staff is also making changes to the same collection.

To change the layout and appearance of collections in your online store, customize your theme.
