## How to use page templates

### Creating a page

Pages are created in your Shopify Admin under Pages. Choose **Add page** to create a new page.

Give your page a title (required), the content is optional. Next, choose a **Theme template** to be used, also known as **Page template**:

### Customizing pages

Using the Theme Editor, you can customize the template that's been assigned to your page:

You can start customizing the page with the pre-defined sections included in Palo Alto. You can hide, reorder, remove sections that are included and also add any new selection from Palo Alto's list of over 25+ sections.&#x20;

## Creating a new page template

From the top drop-down menu select Pages and click on Create template. Give your new template a name and a template to base it on. This will make it so that there are one or two sections predefined but they can be removed or hidden later.
