Theme blocks

Last updated Oct 10, 2026 View as Markdown

A theme block is a Liquid file in the blocks directory with a {% schema %} tag. See Theme blocks.
In the blocks array of a section or theme block schema, use @theme, the type of a theme block, or @app for app blocks.
Render theme blocks with content_for 'blocks', and static blocks with content_for 'block'.
Theme blocks can be nested up to 8 levels deep.
Section and theme block presets have a category. Presets are listed under their category in the theme editor. See presets.
App embeds are stored in blocks in settings_data.json.
