# App

**App** is an empty slot on the product page that you point at a Shopify app. It is how content that lives in an app, such as a review widget or a variant selector, gets a proper place on the page instead of being pushed to the bottom. Customers see whatever the app renders, in the position you drag the section to.

Use it once the app is installed in your store, since the section can only offer apps that are already available to the theme.

### Where to find it <a href="#where-to-find-it" id="where-to-find-it"></a>

{% hint style="success" %}
**Steps:**

1. Go to **Online Store > Themes > Customize**.
2. Open the template selector and select **Products**, then **Default product**.
3. In the left sidebar, click **Add section** and choose **App**.
4. Pick the app block you want to display, then click **Save**.
   {% endhint %}

*Result:* the app renders inside the preview at the position you placed the section, and you can drag it above or below the other product page sections.

### Impact outside the theme editor <a href="#impact-outside" id="impact-outside"></a>

The section only holds a place on the page. What appears inside it is controlled by the app itself, so its settings, styling, and data are managed in the app rather than in the theme editor. Removing or uninstalling the app leaves the slot empty, and the section applies to every product using the **Default product** template.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://uxsmart.gitbook.io/velare/customize-your-pages/product-page/page-template-sections/app.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
