# Featured Collections
> Configure Everest's featured collections section and its main settings, content structure, and styling controls.
The Featured Collections section lets you control the content, layout, and presentation of this part of the Everest storefront. Most changes happen directly in the Theme Customizer, so you can adjust structure first and then refine styling, spacing, and supporting blocks with confidence.
## What this section controls
* Headings, text content, and on-page messaging
* Layout structure, width, alignment, and spacing
* Color schemes, contrast, and shared visual styling
* Block types such as Collection Group, Card Group

In Shopify admin, go to **Online Store** -> **Themes** -> **Customize**.
Add the **Featured Collections** section to a compatible template or select the existing section from the left sidebar.
Start with the structural settings such as layout, width, color scheme, spacing, or content source before refining smaller details.
Add, remove, or reorder blocks after the main layout feels right so content hierarchy stays easier to manage.
