# Description

The **Description** block displays the product’s full description content, pulled directly from the product details. It is typically used to highlight key features, benefits, or other detailed product information.

This block supports an optional '**Read more'** button to collapse long descriptions, keeping the layout tidy on product pages with extended content.

> Only one Description block is allowed per section (`limit: 1`).

## Notes

* The content is automatically pulled from the **Product Description** field in Shopify.
* The '**Read more'** feature is helpful for mobile users or long-form product pages to improve page readability and UX.
* Best used in combination with other blocks such as **Media**, **Buy Buttons**, or **Fit Guide** for a complete product layout.
