## How to edit the Quick comparison table section

### Section settings

#### General settings

* **Color scheme**: Select a color scheme to match your styling. Learn more: [colors](../../theme-settings/colors "mention")
* **Maximum products to show**: Choose how many related products appear in the comparison alongside the current product.

#### Section header

* **Heading**: Customize the title.
* **Text alignment**: Control the layout on desktop and mobile.
* **Text**: Optional description to introduce the comparison section.

### Block settings

Inside the **Quick comparison table**, you'll see a list of content blocks:

* **Product info**: Product title. You can show/hide the **View details** button.
* **Description**: Shortened product descriptions.
  * **Text line limit**: Choose how many lines of text to show per product (No limit or 1-5 lines). This helps keep your comparison clean and balanced across products with varying description lengths.
  * **Show view more button:** Toggle this on if you want to let users expand and read the full description when the line limit is reached. If left off, the text will be truncated without a "View more" link.
