Section templates can be added to any SharePoint page to easily give your page a more polished look. Make page design simpler by choosing from a variety of templates that display content beautifully without any guesswork. Section templates include preset content with formatted aspect ratios that can be edited and customized if needed.

Note: Some functionality is introduced gradually to organizations that have opted in to the Targeted Release program. This means that you may not yet see this feature or it may look different than what is described in the help articles.

Add a section template to your SharePoint page

  1. To begin using section templates, make sure you're in edit mode by selecting Edit at the top right of the page.

  2. Find the Toolbox (Toolbox icon in content pane) on the right. Notice that two section templates are available are the bottom of the Toolbox. To use one of these, select the template.

  3. To see more section templates, select See all section templates, then select a template that best suits your needs.

  4. Once that template has been added to the page, insert the desired content into each field of the template. 

  5. When you're finished adding your content, if you would like to change the look of your section, select Edit properties (Icon for editing web part and section properties) on the section toolbar. In the properties pane to the right, you may make selections to change the layout and background shading of the section. You can also switch the toggle to make your section collapsible.
