allow to add Section in tab, not just Elements
Currently, Tab only allows adding Elements, but if it also allowed dropping Sections into Tab, that would make it easier for the designer.

Hi @JW
Thanks a lot for your suggestion. Just to align on expectations, we’d love to understand your use case a bit better. In Shopify’s structure, Sections are typically full-width and stacked vertically to build a page, while Tabs are components that live inside a Section.
So when you mention adding a Section inside a Tab, could you help clarify:
Are you aiming for full-width layouts inside each Tab?
Or do you want to reuse a global block (for example, something created with Theme Sections) inside a Tab?
Is there a specific layout or example that you’re currently unable to achieve with Elements or Containers?
If you can share a screenshot, mockup, or reference site, that would really help us determine whether this is a structural limitation or just a need for more layout flexibility.
We’ve also sent you a follow-up email so we can dig a bit deeper if that’s easier.
Looking forward to your input,
Lucas
