Create A Metaobject, from The EDM Guide to Shopify. This covers all 4 sections, in about 1 minute.
Metaobjects group fields into reusable records: a designer profile, a size chart, a store feature. Define the structure once, then create entries.
Click Add definition to build one.
Name the definition. Every entry of this type takes its structure from it.
Add fields: text, images, references to products, whatever the record needs.
Options control drafts, translations, and whether entries publish as their own web pages.
Storefront access lets themes and apps read entries, connected through dynamic sources, just like metafields.
Save the definition, and its entries live under Content, then Metaobjects.
