Can I change the model that a section uses after creating it?

Hi

I’ve created a Section in the main contents generation using one model that places the Section in one place in a Shopify page. Is it possible to change to another model that inserts the section in another place in Shopify?

Thanks

Cheers
Richard

Hi @rjcuser,

Changing a model schema doesn’t apply retroactively on content entries that have already been created using the old schema, to apply the new schema on old content entries you can use the write API . A simple way would be to create a new section content with the modal you want and then you can copy the content from the existing section.

Hi Manish

I found that one can do a ‘Move’ on a Section to use a different Model from this button here - 2022-12-07_09-33-08 - TechSmith Screencast - TechSmith Screencast

Was this ok to do?

Thanks

Hi @rjcuser,

Thanks for clarifying. Yes, you can use the move option to change the section default created model.
