Master Pages
- The master page is like the template in the previous architecture but with these new updates, you can have a master product page for all products with product info and you can add or change dynamic section for each product page without the need for custom alternate templates
You can change sections for each product page and have different sections for each product using only Shopify theme editor without the need for custom alternate templates
