Flex Sections Developer Preview Has Ended

Shopify Updates: 

Overview of Changes

As of July 14th, we have officially closed the Flex sections developer preview, marking the end of support for certain features and introducing enhancements for theme development.

Theme Blocks Are Now Available

Theme blocks, previously part of the Flex sections preview, are now accessible to all theme developers. These reusable modules allow you to efficiently structure content within sections.

  • Create dynamic and organized layouts using theme blocks.
  • Access standardized tools for content management across themes.
  • Start utilizing theme blocks today to streamline development workflows.

For additional details, refer to our official documentation.

Style Settings Deprecated

Style settings are no longer supported, and we encourage developers to remove references to them from their themes. This change reflects Shopify’s commitment to exploring innovative approaches for theme design and customization.

  • No future updates will be provided for style settings.
  • Clean up development stores by removing deprecated settings.
  • Stay tuned for new customization options being explored.

Next Steps for Developers

We recommend reviewing your current themes to ensure they align with Shopify’s updated infrastructure. Focus on leveraging theme blocks for optimal results while removing unsupported style settings to maintain compatibility with future updates.
