# Collection list
The **Collection list** section displays a carousel of selected collections with featured images.
{% hint style="info" %}
See the [Collection list grid](/lorenza/sections/theme-sections/collection-list-grid.md) section to use an alternate style to feature your collections.
{% endhint %}
## Set up section
Add this section to your template and use the drag-and-drop handles to re-order its position. You can add this section multiple times with different content and settings.
{% hint style="warning" %}
Editing a template changes all pages that use that template. To edit specific pages, you can [create new templates](/lorenza/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md#create-and-assign-multiple-templates) or [use metafields and dynamic sources](/lorenza/general/adapting-your-theme/dynamic-content-with-metafields.md).
{% endhint %}
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Select a **Template** to edit from the dropdown menu in the top bar.
> Learn how to use templates in our [Templates guide](/lorenza/general/editing-themes/using-templates.md).
2. Under **Template**, click **(+) Add section** and select **Collection list**.
3. Click and hold the drag-and-drop handles **`⋮⋮`** to re-order your sections.

## Section content and style
Change the overall style and layout of the section, along with headings and links.
STEPS
In your theme editor (**Customize**):
1. Click on the **Collection list** section to open the section settings.
2. (*Optional*.) Use the **Section style** dropdown to use **Contrast** colors.
> The **Contrast** style uses the contrast colors in your **Theme Settings**.
3. Choose whether to **Enable animation** to show visual effects when scrolling, hovering, or interacting with the section.
4. Select a **Text position** for the section headings, either above or beside the gallery items.
> Choose between *Top left*, *Top center*, *Top right*, *Middle left* or *Middle right* options.
5. Select the number of **Columns** of collections to display at once.
> Choose between *2* and *4* columns. If the **Middle left** or **Middle right** text positions are used, the section headings display as one of the columns.
> On mobile, only one column displays at once.
6. To make your images a uniform shape and size, select the **Image aspect ratio** to crop your images to **Square**, **Landscape**, or **Portrait**.
> The default **Natural** setting will display the original orientation of your images.
7. Change the text for the **Small heading**, **Heading**, and **Subheading**.
8. Use the **Max width of text** slider to control the maximum width of the headings.
> Use this setting to create a clean visual shape for your text and avoid unwanted line breaks.
