Removing the @global block type in favour of the @app block type in theme sections
In order for theme sections to accept app blocks, the section must define a block of type @app in its schema.
A number of development shops have been created using a pre-release version of Shopify's Dawn theme. The pre-release defines blocks of type @global in some of the sections (, ) to indicate that those sections support app blocks.
Moving forward, @global is removed and being replaced by @app. For more information about the @app block type, refer to add support for app blocks to sections. In order to make sure your theme sections work correctly, follow one of the recommendations:
- Download the latest version of Dawn and upload it to your store.
- Update the affected theme sections to use the
@appinstead of the@globalblock type.
