# Introducing new `enabled_on` / `disabled_on` section schema attributes (deprecating `templates`)

You can now use the new [`enabled_on`](https://shopify.dev/themes/architecture/sections/section-schema#enabled_on) / [`disabled_on`](https://shopify.dev/themes/architecture/sections/section-schema#disabled_on) section schema attributes to specify where a section can be used. These new attributes replace the existing `templates` attribute and work for both templates and [section groups](https://shopify.dev/themes/architecture/section-groups).

* Use the `enabled_on` attribute to limit a section to specific templates and section groups.
* Use the `disabled_on` attribute to prevent a section from being used in specific templates and section groups.

Please keep in mind that you can use only one of `enabled_on` or `disabled_on`.
