Redesign Widget Settings Layout
Applies to: All plans
The widget editor's settings panel has a new layout. Sections are now organized into a left-hand navigation instead of a horizontal tab bar. You can jump straight to any setting with the new search box.
What's New
| Before | Now |
|---|---|
| Settings shown in a horizontal tab bar across the top | Settings grouped into a left-hand navigation |
| Float widgets had page targeting mixed into another tab | Float widgets get their own Placement tab; their old "Gallery view" tab is renamed Preview |
| First tab always labeled "Videos" | Product page widgets show Products instead |
| No way to search settings | Search settings box at the top finds any setting by name |
| Display, Product card, Video title, and Video player had one shared set of options | Separate Mobile / Desktop sub-tabs for each |
| Widget name was a field inside the settings | Click the pencil icon next to the widget name, in the header, to rename it inline |
| Status was a field inside the settings | Active/Inactive dropdown in the header |
| Widget ID / Widget snippet appeared after clicking Save | Click Publish in the header to open a Publish widget modal with both |
| No region-based visibility control | Visibility button in the header opens Visibility by region — All visitors, Selected countries, or Shopify market (Pro) |
| Font, Block title, Title size lived under General | Moved to the Gallery view tab |
| Auto match theme, Title color lived under General | Moved to the Colors setting tab |
How to use: Open Manage widget → select a widget to edit it → use the tabs on the left (Videos/Products, Gallery view/Preview, Placement for Float widgets, Full screen, Colors setting) to find a section, or type into Search settings at the top to jump straight to it.
Note: Search settings is still being updated, so a few settings may not appear in the results yet.
Note: Widgets created before this update keep Mobile/Desktop options on every section (not just Display, Product card, Video title, and Video player). If you'd like the newer, consolidated layout, contact support to migrate your widget.
