# New section schema options for themes

Theme section schemas now accept a `tag` attribute, which customizes the HTML tag that wraps theme sections. Existing theme sections continue to use `<div>` by default.

Learn more about [section schema tags](https://help.shopify.com/en/themes/development/sections#tag) in the Help Center.
