# Metafield ready sections

## The Basics

For sections that are Metafield enabled you'll see an option to `Enable metafield detection`\`  that can be set.  This will remove the default content and allow the section to disappear on pages where no data is set.

### Create MetaObjects

For sections with blocks, the ideal structure is often creating a MetaObject definition that corresponds with all the options that can have dynamic data.

For example in the Gallery grid, for the image block, the image and the link can have dynamic data.  You can tell by the cylinder beside the field.

In this case, you'd make a MetaObject definition that would have an File/image field and a URL field. Then you'd make an entry for each image you'd want for any product.

### Create a Metafield

You'd then want to make a Metafield on the product that would be a list of gallery image MetaObjects.

### Connect MetaObjects to Product via the Metafield

On the product page, you'll now be able to choose from any entry of the Gallery images available and you can connect any number of them.

### Setup in theme editor

Once the Metafields are set up, you can go to the theme editor add the section, then add an image block.  At the top of the image block you see a connect dynamic source for the block.  Choose this and select the metafield.  This will populate a block per MetaObject and set the data up.

If the data doesn't line up correctly, you can go in a manually re-align it.

## Gallery Grid

Gallery grid is one of the first sections we've converted.  Now you can have a unique gallery on each product page, and if some of the products don't have a gallery the section will eleganly disappear for that product.
