Multicolumn

There are two Multicolumn sections in the theme. Multicolumn (legacy) is the original version that shipped with the theme when it launched in 2022. Since then, Shopify has made a lot of updates that we wanted to use to improve the flexibility and functionality of this section, but we couldn't update the existing section without breaking existing stores. So we launched the updated Multicolumn section in July 2025 in Whisk version 13.1.0. Prefer using this updated section if you are creating a new section, or to copy over content from the legacy section to take advantage of new updates.

The multicolumn section looks deceptively simple, but through different blocks and settings you can configure this section in a lot of ways.
