Hi there,
We are using a cloned version of the Elevate theme as a base for a new theme. I have noticed that when we go to add a section, the sections aren’t shown in the different section categories i.e. Hero, Call to action, … etc in the cloned version. The only option we see is ‘All sections’.
Is there anything we can do to show these category groupings as its a much nicer experience?

Hey @DSWebcoda,
Thanks so much for posting in the Community!
I’d like to tag in some Community experts here to see what they might recommend! @Anton, @alyssamwilie, and @SteveHTM - do any of you have insight for @DSWebcoda ?

Hey @DSWebcoda,
as far as I know, this is (still) an Elevate/HubSpot reserved feature.
Elevate got many special things which aren’t available to “regular” users/devs as HubSpot uses Elevate to test quite a few potential new things.
The only resource I’ve found is from the August 2025 Developer Changelog
Digging through the Elevate files (I don’t work with Elevate), I found this additional code in the section files:
landingPageSectionCategories: [TEAM]
which is placed in the template annotation like this:
<!--
templateType: section
label: About us
isAvailableForNewContent: true
landingPageSectionCategories: [TEAM]
scaffoldSchemaPath: ./schemas/about-us.scaffold_schema.json
screenshotPath: ../images/section-previews/about-us.png
description: "Section with an image on the left and company description on the right."
-->
This one line is responsible for the groups.
After checking it with one of my HubL themes (Elevate is a React CMS one), grouping doesn’t work. This supports my theory that this is an Elevate only feature. Neither child-themes nor any other theme support it.
Hope this helps
best,
Anton
Ok thanks for the response and looking into it @Anton. Thought that may be the case.
