Within this library, you’ll have the option to either create a new Theme Section or edit an existing one.
Step 2: Hit “Create new section”.
Once you’re redirected to the Editor page, complete the section design to your preference. Click on the “Save” button when finished.

Following these steps, you will find the section in the Saved Section Library.
Add GemPages Theme Sections to your pages
Step 1: From the GemPages’ Dashboard, choose your preferred template to open the Editor page. Navigate to Library > Saved Library.
