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](https://help.shopify.com/en/manual/shopify-admin/productivity-tools/rich-text-editor#format-text-with-the-rich-text-editor).
* **Button** - This is a call-to-action button allowing you to select a page or paste any link of your choice.
