You can choose to edit the following elements:

Heading - This will serve as the subject or title of your section. For this one, we suggest using a short, but clear title that will allow your customers to easily understand the message you're trying to convey.
Subheading - This will serve as the subtitle of your section.
Text - This is displayed below the heading. This offers a set of rich text functions that allow formatting of the text like adding styles, links, or lists. To learn more, see Shopify's Rich Text Editor guide.
Button - This is a call-to-action button allowing you to select a page or paste any link of your choice.

Drag to re-order any element you like within the section.
