# Add a product section

> Create an empty slot in a room, from a template or your own name, then fill it with options for your client.

## Why use it

A product section is a slot in the room that needs a decision, such as *Pendant
lighting* over the island. It holds the options you are weighing, so your client
sees them side by side and answers once, instead of replying to three separate
emails.

## When to use it

- **Planning a room.** Add every slot the room needs up front, then fill them as you source.
- **Comparing options.** One section, up to three options, one client decision.
- **Rooms that repeat.** Templates give you the usual sections for a room type in a few clicks.

For a single product that needs no comparison, [add it directly](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/add-a-product-directly).

## Before you start

- Open the project and the space, then choose **View all** on the **Products** card.

## Steps

Callout 1: Section templates
1. On the room's products page, choose **Add product**, then **Add a product section**.
2. Pick a section from the template grid. Sections not yet in the room come first.
3. For a slot with no template, choose **Custom section** at the end of the grid and enter a **Section name**.
4. Pick a **Category** for your section, such as **Furniture** for *Dining table*.
5. Choose **Add section**. Then choose **Go to section** to start adding options, or **Add another** for more.

## What happens next

- The new section appears on the **Sections** view as an empty card.
- Open it to [add options](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/add-options-to-a-section): from a link, from existing products or the Library, or by hand.
- When it has one to three options, send it to your client from the section page.

## Limits

- Sections already sent for approval are locked in the chooser.
- **Section name** is required, up to 200 characters.

## Questions

### Why is a section tile locked?

It is already with your client for approval, or decided. Open the section from the **Sections** view to manage it.

### Can I reuse a set of sections in another room?

Yes. Choose **More product actions**, then **Save as template**. See [section templates](https://docs.moodiri.com/products/product-sections-and-options#section-templates).
