# Custom HTML Sections (Collection)

A Custom HTML section lets you add your own markup to your layout. It’s perfect for adding buttons, banners, link lists, and call-to-action (CTA) areas inside your Home Page or My Account sections that point users to internal pages or external sites.

### How to add a Custom HTML section 

1. Open your layout (e.g., **Collection → Home Page** or **My Account**).

   1. For **Home Page**, add a Custom HTML Section

   2. For **My Account**, choose **Add** under Custom Rows

2. Select Modify HTML to open the HTML editor window.

3. **Copy and paste** one of the provided HTML templates (or your own code) into the editor.
   \- You can adapt it with custom text, links, or buttons as needed.

4. Click Save, then check the Channel Preview to confirm the content appears correctly.

### Templates

**1. Simple Text Link (inline)**

This is the most basic option. It turns a word or phrase into a clickable link.

- _Use it for:_ linking to another page (like your “About” or “Contact” page).
- _Example:_ “Read our statement of faith.”

</p>

2\. Link List (clean, compact)\*\*

Creates a clean list of several text links stacked vertically.
