# Rich text
The **Rich text** section adds a single full-width block for promotional text. Describe a product, share announcements, or welcome customers to your store. Add an optional call-to-action button. It looks great between two image-focused sections.
## Set up section
Add this section to any template (except Checkout) 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 %}
